Most of the existing literature on substance abuse and treatment is
limited either solely to women or to both genders in general. Boys
and men, however, have a higher rate of substance use, abuse, and
addiction, and require more specialized treatment methods that take
into account the unique developmental and social aspects they face
throughout their lives. This text is a guidebook that takes a
developmental lifespan approach to discuss the biological and
psychosocial factors that may be either protective or risk factors
for substance use disorders for males. This developmental approach
will provide substance abuse prevention specialists and treatment
clinicians with a basic understanding of male development in order
to insure greater gender-sensitivity with their prevention efforts
and to recognize gender-specific issues in the substance abuse
assessment and treatment realms. Relevant case examples are
included that illustrate work with boys and men of all ages and
that address a variety of factors associated with culture,
ethnicity, race, religion, and sexual orientation. Mental health
practitioners working with boys and men will gain an increased
awareness about substance abuse among males, a better understanding
of male development in relation to substance use and abuse, and an
increased skill-level to provide more comprehensive,
gender-sensitive prevention and treatment practices for each
developmental level outlined in the text.
