Description
Description:
At no other time in history have men been so awash in mixed cultural messages and in such a state of transition, confusion, reactivity, and trouble. Despite being basically good hearted, many men continue to make a hash of their relationships. We therapists can help, but not before rethinking some of the sacred cows of therapeutic practice. Men need action and leadership from us, challenging them while still loving the little boy inside them and offering guidance and tools to their inner grown-up.
Educational Objectives:
- Describe the best part of the man, his “functional adult,” into an alliance with you.
- Utilize judicious self-disclosure to help diminish shame while confronting men’s difficult behaviors and traits.
- Demonstrate understanding of the current resurgence of patriarchy to an invitation to move beyond it and reclaim passionate connections to self and others.
- Discuss male clients to a therapeutically meaningful deconstruction and reconfiguration of what it means to be “a man.”
