§The healing power of the bond between men and dogs is§explored in this unique book. Three important themes emerge: attachment, loss,§and continued bonds with canine companions for males across the life span and§from various contextual backgrounds. The contributors replace common assumptions§with needed context pertaining to men's emotions and relationships, starting§with the impact of gender norms on attachment, and including robust data on how§canine companionship may counter Western culture socialization. The chapters engage§readers with details pertaining to ways in which dogs help men develop stable,§caring relationships, process feelings, and cope with stress - within a variety§of environments including home, school and treatment programs for veterans,§prisoners, and youth. The book also address men's loss of companion animals,§and the need for building new ways of sustaining the memory and meaning of the§bond in males' lives, referred to as a "continuing bond." From these various vantage points, therapeutic insights and relevant findings bring§a new depth of understanding to this compelling topic.§§Included in the coverage:§§Masculine§gender role conflict theory, research, and practice: implications for understanding§the human-animal bond in males' lives.§At-risk§youth and at-risk dogs helping one another.§An examination§of human-animal interaction as an outlet for healthy masculinity in prison.§Exploring§how the human-animal bond affects men's relational capacity to make and sustain§meaningful attachment bonds with both human and animal companions .§Older§adults and companion animals: physical and psychological benefits of the§bond.§Continuing§the bonds with animal companions: implications for men grieving the loss§of a dog. §§Probing the deeper concepts behind "man's best friend," Men and Their Dogs provides a rich§clinical understanding of this timeless bond, and should be of special interest§to health psychologists, clinical psychologists, academicians, social workers, nurses,§counselors, life coaches and dog lovers.§
