Young adult men in their late teens and early twenties are
statistically the least happy of any group of males surveyed. What
s more, scholarly research tells us that adolescent boys and young
men have the highest rates of behavioral problems, completed
suicides, and drug and alcohol problems of any demographic group.
They also tend to have greater problems managing their emotions and
successfully negotiating close interpersonal relationships, which
makes therapy more complex and challenging. However, when done
well, therapy with young men can be highly effective and quite
rewarding for both the therapist and client.
In Therapy With Young Men, Verhaagen presents a comprehensive
model of therapy with young men that addresses each of these
concerns, beginning with the rapport and engagement process, and
then moving to ways to increase motivation for changing problem
behaviors and increasing adaptive skills. The book describes a wide
range of novel, effective cognitive-behavioral interventions that
can readily be employed in the therapeutic process.
