Invisible Men

by David R. Grove
Type: Softcover

Neil Schiff describes the book as [bringing] the reader into the client’s and therapist’s world, illustrating the idea of invisible men and using the idea as an explanation, as well as a basis for change.

Why is it so difficult to engage men in the therapy process when a family runs into difficulty? The reasons are many, but the upshot is singularly unproductive, even destructive. And yet it continues to be a problem for therapists — and families. Invisible Men offers insight into the problem as it manifests across numerous specific situations. More important, the authors demonstrate a host of innovative approaches to making men an integral part of the solution picture. Ample case material brings the perspective to life, taking it from theory to application.
