Clinical Work With Men: Understanding Masculinity in Psychotherapy

In Clinical Work With Men, psychologist Andrew P. Smiler offers a groundbreaking guide for therapists seeking to better understand and engage with male clients by exploring masculinity from the inside out. Instead of pathologizing men’s behaviors, this book helps clinicians see the world through their clients’ eyes, examining the roles, values, and identities that shape how men understand themselves.
