    Male therapist for general life concerns

    May 2002

    I've searched the archives and the recommendations for men's therapists are pretty specifically for serious childhood issues. I'm interested in someone who works more with work, mid-life and other general concerns, but from a male perspective. Prefer Berkeley/Albany/El Cerrito area. Any suggestions? Annonymous Guy

    Therapist for husband's childhood demons

    My husband has been battling the demons of childhood neglect for years and now he's ready to do something about it. He was a middle child in a large blended family that practiced the philosophy of every child for him/herself. There was too much freedom, too little parenting, and some pretty negative role modeling. As a result, my husband has issues about self-worth, money and anger that endanger the well-being of our family. He's a very wonderful and loving husband and father for the most part, but he definitely needs some healing. Can anyone recommend a good therapist? The website doesn't list any referrals specifically for men. Thank you.
