The rapid rise of the #MeToo movement has created a seismic shift in how we work with sexual misconduct that occurs in relationships between men and women, but the scope and impact of behaviors within that category is full of gray areas. #MeToo-Informed Therapy guides therapists in finding effective ways to help men who offend, empowering women to find their voices, exploring ways for men to be allies in the #MeToo movement, and helping couples whose relationships can be enhanced by understanding #MeToo issues.

This book is designed for counselors, therapists, and anyone in the helping professions to understand the men (usually) who engage in sexual misconduct, the women (usually) who are on the receiving end, and the couples whose relationships have been disrupted by prior experiences with sexual harassment and/or assault. The book is not focused on gross criminal behavior (i.e., rape) but more about the gray areas of everyday interactions between the sexes and the various psychological and societal forces that get in the way.

Organizations such as college counseling centers, military counseling centers, mental health clinics, and corporate HR departments have already shown interest in ordering bulk copies for all staff. Books are also available at WWNorton.com and Amazon.com.

The latest revision of the highly successful Domestic Violence 2000, this Fourth Edition of the STOP Domestic Violence Program integrates innovative interventions and client-centered guidelines to successfully treat male domestic violence offenders. The bold interventions from STOP have now been field-tested for over thirty years among military and civilian populations—and STOP has now treated over 50,000 domestic violence offenders. Dr. Wexler’s program offers therapists, social workers, and other counselors a new level of sound, psychologically-based interventions that reach the very men who often seem so unapproachable in a treatment setting.

Treatment providers will find new sessions—based on the latest evidence-supported strategies—on insecure attachment issues, stages of change, groundbreaking results from the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study, normative male alexithymia, stake in conformity issues, substance abuse issues, and more. This new edition integrates 24 field-tested video clips to dramatically illustrate key issues for the group.

The STOP Domestic Violence Program-4th Edition offers group leaders everything they need to understand male domestic violence and the interventions to make a difference

For all domestic violence treatment programs that utilize "The STOP Program", RTI has just made it easier to display two posters in your group rooms that are integral to the treatment model: "The Fifteen Commandments of STOP" and "Feelings Count."

Each poster is 24 x 36 inches, and shipped in a protective tube.

This is a series of ten outstanding brief video vignettes created for men’s behavioral change programs. They demonstrate various aspects of abusive behavior and offer positive options for change.

RTI’s “STOP Program” is now integrating many of these video vignettes into our internationally-recognized programs treating relationship violence.

Long disregarded and downplayed, female domestic violence is today rapidly gaining awareness as research proves not only that it exists, but that—according to multiple incidence studies—the frequency of women actually initiating abusive behavior is about equal to men. While certain core elements of intimate partner violence are shared among all domestic violence offenders, female offenders face unique triggers, personal backgrounds, and relationship dynamics. The STOP Program: For Women Who Abuse is the most innovative and comprehensive manual to address domestic violence treatment specifically to female offenders, with a program targeted to engage women in their own healing process. This program will radically change the landscape for treatment of women who abuse.

This comprehensive instruction manual for group treatment offers therapists, social workers, and other counselors sound, psychologically-based interventions to reach the very women who often seem unapproachable in a treatment setting.

This program addresses the rapidly increasing awareness of female domestic violence and need for quality treatment services. Developed and field-tested for over twenty-five years among military and civilian populations, this program integrates contemporary interventions and client-centered guidelines to treat domestic violence offenders—who happen to be female. Based on the acclaimed domestic violence treatment program STOP Domestic Violence, which focused on male domestic violence offenders, this book recognizes what is now being widely accepted, abuse is abuse regardless of gender, and must be treated.

These worksheets and exercises, fully integrated with the main book, keep group members actively engaged in overcoming their abusive behaviors. Packaged as loose-leaf sheets, they can be added, removed, or rearranged to suit the needs of any leader administering the program.

In Men in Therapy, Dr. David Wexler illuminates the ways in which cultural norms and assumptions color the male experience of psychotherapy. He explains how the traditional notions of masculinity (the “Guy Code”) keep men away from the therapist’s office and inhibit men trying to benefit from counseling and therapy. In this ground-breaking book, therapists are offered a rich understanding of these issues and even richer set of guidelines and strategies for engaging men in new and creative ways.

Men enter the world of counseling due to a wide range of needs and come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and they do not always show up voluntarily. Individual chapters are devoted to the treatment of men in relationships, men suffering from depression, fathers, men who abuse women, and men of color. Wexler provides a fresh perspective on the issues unique to each group, plus sound advice and common sense methods for treating each of these groups effectively, nonjudgmentally, and professionally. He draws on contemporary research, his 25 years of extensive clinical experience, and his own experience of therapy as a man, to equip the therapist with the knowledge and confidence necessary to provide effective therapy to men.

A compassionate and insightful resource for men seeking to learn about their own emotional responses and their relationships – and for the women they love. This book offers examples of men's successes, and contains specific structured exercises and strategies to help you transfer its ideas into your own life.

Learn about the three factors that contribute to deficits in male emotional intelligence and relationship competence:

• Many men have difficulty recognizing and labeling internal states.
• Many men easily become "emotionally flooded" in the face of not-so-masculine emotions.
• Many men feel pressured to "take action" or escape in the face of uncomfortable

Working from these three core assumptions, When Good Men Behave Badly explores the triggers that can lead to damaging behavior. It offer a series of specific, focused techniques to help men generate alternative responses when faced with previously unbearable emotions.

Sin Golpes was originally developed and field-tested in English for the U.S. Navy over a 13-year period.

• An introduction to the Spanish edition, including cultural guidelines on methodology for Latino offenders and therapeutic strategies that are likely to be effective for Latinos.
