Call For Submissions: July 2004 Connections
		Female practitioners face numerous challenges in communicating with well-defended males. Many basic physiological and sociological differences, as well as conflicting learning and communication styles, inhibit the effectiveness of therapy, education, and treatment. Men and women communicate differently, learn differently, and internalize trauma differently. Therefore, treatment and education that focus exclusively on “talk” therapy may not be enough. The number of women in helping professions is beginning to outweigh men, making it essential for women to learn about and understand these fundamental differences. The challenge for female therapists, educators, and human service professionals then, is to find an effective means of helping male clients and students to recover by honoring the differences. Hermes’ Web helps them do just that. To contribute to the July issue of Connections, please email your questions and/or your experience using Hermes’ Web as an effective recovery tool that honors male communication and learning styles to connections@hermesweb.com. You may also submit questions outside of this topic to be included in the issue. Your Community members look forward to your input. Close this window to return to the July Connections page.
