No / Working with Men in Health and Social Care is an important and timely book that introduces the complex issues and debates involved in working with men in a range of professional settings. The authors locate academic and popular discourse on masculinities within the specific context of health and social care settings, critically analysing the theory and policy that underpin and inform practice, and continually linking theoretical frameworks to 'real-life' practice examples.
Section 1 contextualises the topic with a discussion of gender theory, social policy and the occupational culture of relevant organisations
Section 2 provides a summary of practice models, examining practice with men as individuals, as well as in groups, families and communities
Section 3 is organised according to specific groups of service users and includes chapters on fathers, abusive men, physical and mental health, boys, and older men
