Michael Gurian's New Book: How Do I Help Him?

Males are underserved in the mental health and helping professions. Boys and men often feel that counselors, therapists, and mental health care professionals are not well informed or educated in what males need. Only one in ten new counselors and social workers is male. The counseling field is losing boys and men at exponential rates, and many parents are faced with taking sons to therapists who don't know how to work with boys as well as girls. How Do I Help Him? addresses the unique needs of boys and men in therapy, counseling and mental health services. Written by Michael Gurian, a mental health counselor for more than twenty years, and one of the world's foremost gender experts, this book provides brain-based gender theory, new science-based practical models, and outcomes-oriented strategic tools for transforming the counseling and psychiatric profession to work better with boys and men. This book is an invaluable resource for parents, as well, if they are taking a boy (or man) into counseling or therapy.
