Summary:

Deepening Psychotherapy With Men is a rich source of theoretical and clinical guidance for helping male clients look inward to resolve the core conflicts in their lives, such as ambivalence about dependence in close relationships, prohibitions against feeling sadness, gender role demands that conflict with emotional needs, and the common masculine aversion to "being" as opposed to "doing." This book includes methods and techniques for working through these four conflicts and deepening therapy in both individual and group settings.
