Counseling News:
Men, Addiction, and Intimacy
In the substance abuse and addiction treatment realm, males outnumber females two to one.
While gender-issues are seen as a key element of women’s treatment, the acknowledgement that males are "gendered beings" who have lived lives full of male-specific developmental challenges is often overlooked.
This text takes a developmental lifespan approach to examine the neurobiological and psychosocial factors associated with substance use disorders for males, specifically in relation to emotional growth and awareness, and how these areas, in turn, affect the development of healthy relationships.
Changing Aging, Changing Family Therapy
As the baby boomers move into retirement and later stages of life, gerontology and geriatrics have begun to receive much more attention.
Changing Aging, Changing Family Therapy explores the ways in which family therapists’ expertise in systems theory makes them uniquely qualified to take a leading role in helping families and individuals cope with the challenges and changed circumstances that aging brings.
Clinicians will find detailed coverage and practical guidelines on a wealth of vital topics, including coping with the illness of a parent or partner, working past retirement age, outliving one’s savings, preserving physical and mental well-being over time, and more.

Integrated Care
This book provides pertinent and practical information about how to create, work, and thrive in an Integrated Care (IC) setting.
Unlike other books on the subject, it focuses on the "nuts and bolts" of establishing an IC practice; it also covers material that is often missing from or insufficiently covered in the existing literature.
Specific topics discussed include the basics of IC, such as different models and levels of IC and examples of IC initiatives; how to build an IC program, with guidelines for entering and working effectively in a practice, as well as managing the associated economic aspects; ethical issues involved in IC, given the discrepancies between medical and mental health ethical standards; assessment and intervention in IC; cross-cultural and diversity issues in IC; and leadership, consultation, and supervision.
Tough Guys and True Believers
Some men are especially difficult to manage in the psychotherapy room, being demanding, rigid, aggressive, and prejudiced.
This book will be a guide for therapists and counselors who work with these authoritarian men, offering an understanding of them and an empirically supported set of recommendations to work with them effectively.
In the first part, Robertson explores what an authoritarian male is and how he came to be that way, and describes the different types: Tough Guys, which include the abusive partner and the workplace bully, and True Believers, the zealous follower and the messenger from God.
