Treating men as a culturally distinct group, Rich Furman
integrates key conceptions of masculinity into culturally sensitive
social work practice with men. 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.
