This is a ground breaking and long overdue book that proposes a variety if

innovative and practical strategies to address relevant issues for Africa American men in micro-practice approaches ( individual, couple, family and group treatment) as well as macro-practice approaches ( policy formulation, programme development, and community practice). This well documented book is informed by the author's years of qualitative research and their considerable years of clinical experience with African American men.
