In Psychotherapy With Men, Dr. Mark A. Stevens demonstrates his interpersonal–relational integrative approach to therapy with male clients. Men are often reluctant participants in the therapy process, so this approach emphasizes creating a safe, welcoming environment for men and building a solid therapeutic relationship. In this two-part video, Dr. Stevens works with two brothers, both of whom fear losing their relationships with their children. The brothers' fears manifest in different ways, and Dr. Stevens focuses on distinct paths to healing in each session.
This therapy takes an interpersonal–relational integrative approach. Through the process of psychotherapy, the client will better understand and have access to internal and external resources needed to make desired changes. The major goal is to build a safe enough environment that the client will be as open as possible in exploring and evaluating his reactions and behaviors inside and outside the therapy office. Increasing cognitive flexibility and improving interpersonal relationship satisfaction is a core goal of this approach.
