Arthur M. Horne and Mark S. Kiselica have gathered a large and
impressive team of authorities from around the United States and
New Zealand to produce a comprehensive volume on counseling boys.
The contributing authors address a wide variety of developmental
and cultural considerations pertaining to counseling boys, and they
offer extremely useful recommendations for helping 11 special
clinical populations of boys. I know of no other book on boys that
is as broad in its scope or as practical in its approach as is this
groundbreaking work.-Arnold A. Lazarus, Ph.D., ABPP,Distinguished
Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Rutgers University "This
wonderful volume represents the advancing developments of the
field, is broad and comprehensive in scope, offers outstanding
clinical and practical suggestions, and includes a veritable 'who's
who' of counselors and psychologists among its contributors. Mental
health professionals and graduate students will treasure this
reference work." -Ronald F. Levant, Ed.D., ABPP, Dean, Center for
Psychological Studies, Nova Southeastern University, Ft.Lauderdale,
Florida "The Handbook of Counseling Boys and Adolescent Males fills
a gap in the counseling field by providing counselors in schools
and community agencies with information that will guide them in
expanding their services to the males with whom they work. The
developmental background is very helpful to counselors in expanding
their understanding of the nature of problems boys' experience in
growing up; the section on cultural considerations illustrates
sensitivity to the varying racial, ethnic intervention, and
treatment programs that may be used in schools and community
agencies. This book will be an extremely helpful resource for
counselors in their work with boys and adolescent males, it is
highly recommended for all mental health practitioners." --Pamela
Paisley, Ed.D The University of Georgia, President, Association of
Counselor Education and Supervision "As we try to understand the
violence that has rocked our schools, one common denominator stands
out: The perpetrators are all young males. School counselors
confirm that there are a lot of angry young men out there. Why are
they so angry? What can we do to better understand them? How can we
help? This book promises to be a 'must read' for all school
counselors." -Nancy S. Perry, NCC, NCSC, American School Counselor
Association "Arthur M. Horne and Mark S. Kiselica have produced a
timely compendium which offers an exciting glimpse at important
developments related to boys and men. This well thought out volume
boldly ranges beyond conventional boundaries and will be a useful
addition to the available literature on boys and men."--Don C.
Locke, Ph.D., North Carolina State University The Handbook of
Counseling Boys and Adolescent Males provides the reader with a
context for understanding the developmental dilemmas experienced by
male youth and how male development, both adaptive and maladaptive,
is shaped by a complex interaction of biological, cultural, and
economic forces. This book is organized into three parts. Part I
provides the reader with an understanding of how the psychological,
career, and athletic development of boys is shaped by a complex
interaction of biological, social, cultural, and economic forces.
Part II covers cultural considerations pertaining to counseling
with African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, Native
American, and White, Non-Hispanic boys. Part III addresses special
populations of boys, including gay boys, teenage fathers, sexually
abused boys, boy sexual offenders, developmentally disabled boys,
shy and anxious boys, depressed boys, bullies, male youth gangs,
and boy substance abusers.
