Conclusion: What Is Right About Men? -- Appendix: Resources -- References -- IndexTreating men as a culturally distinct group, Rich Furman integrates key conceptions of masculinity into culturally sensitive social work practice with men. Focusing on veterans, displaced workers, substance abusers, mental health consumers, and other groups that might be unlikely to seek help, Furman deftly explores the psychosocial development of men, along with the globalization of men's lives, alternative conceptions of masculinity, and special dynamics within male relationships.Furman bolsters his conclusions with case studies and evidence-based interventions. His cutting-edge research merges four key social work theories and explores how they inform practice with mental health issues, compulsive disorders, addiction, and violence. By promoting gender equity and culturally competent practice with men, Furman bridges the gap between clinical and macro practice. Social Work Practice with Men at Risk is a crucial text for educators and practitioners hoping to pursue effective, far-reaching interventions.Social work with menMenServices forMenSocial conditionsSocial work with men.MenServices for.MenSocial conditions.362.8Furman Rich1463550MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781016503321Social work practice with men at risk3672839UNINA
