The rapid rise of the #MeToo movement has created a seismic and long overdue shift in what is considered appropriate behavior in personal and professional relationships between men and women. However, the scope of behaviors that fall within the category of sexual misconduct is broad and often ill-defined-which can be confusing for both clients and therapists. #MeToo-Informed Therapy explores the obvious violations as well as the complex gray areas of sexual misconduct and their relationship to traditional and restrictive gender role norms. Through case studies and vignettes, this book presents dynamic ways to work effectively with men who offend, to empower women who are dealing with harassment and sexual misconduct, and to help couples whose relationships can be enhanced by understanding @MeToo issues. Practical suggestions are offered about educational interventions both inside and outside of the clinical hour, as well as ways to create alliances between men and women in confronting sexual misconduct.
