By Rich Simon As therapists, many of us practice in two different worlds. In the first, we see polite, well-behaved, articulate clients with solid values. They engage fully in therapy, talk cogently about their problems, listen attentively to our responses, make reasonably good-faith efforts to follow our suggestions, and sooner or later get better. No wonder we genuinely like these people!

Thank you so much for this very informative, affirming and validating presentation today. What a great way to end a good series. Kathryn Greenaway
Thank you so much. Oh, and something I wonder about--is how much of this discussion applies to working with boys? I have a number of boy clients, currently from age 5 to 14, and it seems to me that some of what Dr. Sweet has said about working with men may apply to working with boys as well.

Could you suggest some books (aside from your own)
on male psychology. Thanks!
What an informative and down-to-earth talk, with so many valuable tips and insights that seem like they should be apparent, but often aren't. Without intending to specialize in men's issues, I find my practice is filled predominantly by men. It was good to have many of the things I do with them validated by an expert and to learn about some areas I've not considered. I put some of your ideas to work immediately and had success! I would also like to be added to your list serve: vickiswenson@comcast.net. Great talk--thank you!

Thanks so much for the information regarding doing therapy with men. I would be very interested to know more books you would recommend for male clients to read and also books you would recommend for therapists to read which would help educate us about doing therapy with men. I would also enjoy being on your list serve. It would be great if you could add me to it. My email is luci@lucitj.com. Thank you!
