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. 606 $aSocial work with men 606 $aMen$xServices for 606 $aMen$xSocial conditions 615 0$aSocial work with men. 615 0$aMen$xServices for. 615 0$aMen$xSocial conditions. 676 $a362.8 700 $aFurman$b Rich$01463550 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781016503321 996 $aSocial work practice with men at risk$93672839 997 $aUNINA
