Book excerpt: These papers answer the editors' call for the recognition of men as a special culture and for gender consideration in therapy. The essays discuss theories and techniques for treating men and boys in a wide variety of situations from the job to the jail cell. They also address diversity and the importance of considering cultural influence on men's lives. In this edition, Good (psychology, U. of Missouri-Columbia) and Brooks (psychology and neuroscience, Baylor U.) condensed their two-volume work into a single volume and added material on research undertaken since the original publication in 1987.
