Confronting Barriers to Treating Men: A Learning Seminar

Event description

CONFRONTING BARRIERS TO TREATING MEN:
A LEARNING SEMINAR
A Ten Session, Monthly Small Group Learning Experience
For Therapists Who Work with Men

Presenters: Richard Aberman, LICSW & John Szatkowski, LICSW

Therapists have long known that engaging men in individual or couples therapy can be particularly challenging. Gender roles, socialization factors and differences in communication styles lead men to be reluctant participants in the process of psychological exploration and behavioral change. Yet, paradoxically, more and more men are entering our offices and therapists require a different skill set to fully engage men in the treatment process.
This learning seminar will meet one Wednesday each month, 9-10:30 a.m., September 2015 to June 2016, using thematic presentations and clinical case examples to address a variety of areas related to treating men.

Engaging Men in Treatment
Men and Addiction
Fathers and Sons
Couples Treatment
Men and Depression
Dealing with Shame
Men and Infidelity
Men and Anger/Violence
