Effective Treatment for Men
ABSTRACT
This lecture will provide a synthesis of twenty-five years of scholarship and clinical practice innovations concerning the psychology of boys and men. Participants will gain a deep and nuanced understanding of the emotional development and functional capacities of boys and men. Through watching and discussing part of a videotape showing the treatment of an emotionally constricted male client, participants will learn new techniques for helping men develop emotional self-awareness and emotional empathy. They will also learn how to help men use those new skills to deeply engage in the therapeutic process.
