ABSTRACT
Although the development of specific approaches with men in counseling settings is fairly recent, some authors have highlighted the knowledge clinicians have acquired in working with men in recent years (see Brooks, 1998; Brooks & Good, 2001; Dulac, 1997, 2001; Dulac & Groulx, 1999; Glicken, 2005; Horne & Kiselica, 1999; Levant & Pollack, 1995; Pollack & Levant, 1998; Rabinowitz & Cochran, 2002). Based on the theoretical work of authors from Québec, English Canada, and the United States as well as our professional experience as therapists and trainers working with a predominantly male clientele, we published an article in the International Journal of Men’s Health (Tremblay & L’Heureux, 2005) which summarizes in 10 points the most important tactics in the therapeutic work with more traditional men. This chapter specifies the sixth point of this model focusing on the importance of having a structured process.
