Index 355

"Three renowned leaders have provided this landmark contribution to the counseling literature. The editors and their contributing authors express an empathic understanding about male socialization and explore why men are often reluctant to seek counseling. In a refreshingly positive manner, they address the particular needs of diverse populations of men and recommend how to modify counseling to work with men in different modalities and settings. This wonderful book is a superb resource for any counselor who works with men."--Mark S. Kiselica, PhD, The College of New Jersey, Fellow and Former President, The Society for the Psychological Study of Men and Masculinity

"This is an important text that has come at the right time. Though we now have several decades of scholarship on men and masculinity, this book takes us to a different level. It provides direction for counselors--working with men individually and in groups--to help male clients across the life span in multiple roles and specialized populations, and across aspects of identity conflict."--Arthur M. Horne, PhD, The University of Georgia
