{"product_id":"working-with-men-in-the-human-services","title":"Working with Men in the Human Services","description":"\u003cp\u003eMen are often invisible in the human services. As clients and as workers, men have largely been ignored in the efforts that have been made to combat sexism in social work and welfare practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWorking with Men in the Human Services\u003c\/i\u003e argues that addressing gender injustice requires an understanding of men as well as of women. The authors analyse how men's position in society affects their relationships with women, and with each other. They also examine the influence of masculine culture on men's self-perception and behaviour. Key practice issues are highlighted with case studies from a variety of contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWorking with Men in the Human Services\u003c\/i\u003e marks the beginning of a new agenda for profeminist practice with men, and is essential reading for students and professionals in social work, welfare and counselling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWorking with Men in the Human Services challenges all social workers to rethink their assumptions about men, masculinity and men's issues. It does not negate feminist scholarship and practice, but rather broadens and deepens an appreciation of gender issues. It deserves to be widely read, is a must for any social worker's library, and will have a profound influence on social work theory and practice in the coming years.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJim Ife, Professor of Social Work + Social Policy, Curtin University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBob Pease is Senior Lecturer in Social Work at RMIT University, Melbourne, author of \u003ci\u003eRecreating Men\u003c\/i\u003e, and coeditor of \u003ci\u003eTransforming Social Work Practice\u003c\/i\u003e.
