Traditional therapy can often be an off-putting experience for
boys as it is in direct opposition to the ways they generally
interact and connect with others. This book explores a variety of
creative approaches that professionals can use to enhance the
clinical experience and better reach their young male clients.
Chapters discuss the theory behind and implementation of various
creative approaches to therapy with boys, such as play therapy,
including sports, movement, and gross-motor activity;
animal-assisted therapy; the use of video games and computers; the
use of superheroes in role play, metaphor, and play therapy; and
art therapy. Attention is also given to methods for working with
several subgroups of boys that require specialized treatment
approaches, including gender variant and sexual minority boys and
boys with ADHD. The first book of its kind, mental health
professionals will find this a comprehensive and highly valuable
text to help them understand, help, and support boys and their
development.
