Description - Working with Men by Kate Cavanagh

One of feminism's key contributions to improving social work practice has been to expose the gender-blindness which has characterized social work policy and literature. The contributors to ths book - feminist researchers, academics and social work practitioners - argue that for far too long feminism has ignored the issues involved in working directly with male clients. They explore the issue of feminist work with men highlighting the dilemmas which they have encountered in their own professional practice concluding that feminist social work practice must include direct work with men as part of a broader strategy whose ultimate goal is the empowerment of women. This text should be useful reading for students of social work and applied social sciences as well as for social work practitioners and managers.
