Some men are especially difficult to manage in the psychotherapy room. They are controlling, exploitive, rigid, aggressive, and prejudiced. In a word, they are Authoritarian. This book is a guide for therapists and counselors who work with these men, offering an understanding of their psychological development and providing empirically supported recommendations to work with them effectively. In the first part, Robertson describes several versions of authoritarian men. Some are Tough Guys (workplace bullies, abusive partners, sexual harassers), and others are True Believers (men who use religion to justify their authoritarian behavior). Robertson draws from a diverse literature in psychology, sociology, men’s studies, and neurobiology to describe the developmental histories and personalities of these men. Part two offers practical and specific strategies to assess and treat these wounded men—developing a masculine friendly alliance, respecting their personal and religious beliefs, and teaching them self-awareness and self-regulation skills. Throughout, Robertson emphasizes a reality that many therapists doubt: Some authoritarian men want to change their behavior, and are capable of doing so. This book presents an empathic and respectful view of a group of men too often written off as unmanageable and unchangeable.

Review
"As an educator and practitioner specializing in work with men, I cannot overemphasize the vital importance of this book in understanding, evaluating, and treating authoritarian men. Robertson has at once respected the deep humanity of individuals, but also the need to hold accountable those who harm others through mis-regulated behavior." - Mark A. Hurst, PhD, Psychology Faculty, The Evergreen State College; Founder, Positive Reentry Program for Incarcerated Men
"John Robertson has produced an extremely important work that is deep and thorough regarding the factors contributing to creation of authoritarian tough guys and unusually insightful in recommending pathways for engagement and change. I enthusiastically recommend this book." - Gary R. Brooks, PhD, Professor, Baylor University
"For the first time, we have an incisive yet respectful analysis of the inner lives of authoritarian men. Tough Guys and True Believers is the ‘gold standard’ for understanding and treating authoritarian men. I recommend it most highly!" - Glenn E. Good, Dean and Professor, School of Education, University of Florida

Buy it. Read it. Learn.
By Siebolt Freiswyk PhD
It is rare to find good advice. When it is relevant, effective, grounded in research and expressed with deep compassion born of years of rich clinical experience germane to the ideas being offered, it is a treasure. Even more astonishing, when that advice helps to understand how to address the anguish of men who themselves inflict it on others and does so step by step by step we can only say, "Thank you". That thanks will be but the beginning of a transformation in the way we practice. It will take time to digest these ideas. It will take patience to learn and to impliment. It will take years to fully understand how the lives of these men can be transformed. But, if one diligently reads and applies the strategies that Dr. Robertson outlines the results will change how you think about the work that you do. It will have a profound impact on how you think of yourself as an agent of change. Becoming a compassionate and effective clinician who understands "the work" will offer a platform from which change in yourself and those with whom you connect can emerge. To illustrate the efffectiveness of the approaches that Dr. Robertson so clearly describes, he paints a composite of those we worked with as team mates, collaborators and friends. One such man, who remains anonymous, was at the end of his rope. He was about to be publicly disgraced with no real reason to believe he would ever practice medicine again. His life was in a shambles and his marriage and family were about to disintegrate. Through the process Dr. Robertson describes, that man's life has been more than restored. He is now a published poet who has achieved serenity and is transformed in every facet of his being. He, of course, became the agent of his own change but it was through the process Dr. Robertson describes. As a published author of outcome research for both psychiatric inpatient treatment and outpatient individual therapy I can attest to the power of Dr. Robertson's advice. It is solid, is is clear and it will bring about change in which you can invest as a 'new way' to work because it helps and does so profoundly. As for myself, I can say with deep conviction that I use the tools that Dr. Robertson describes everyday and see first hand how lives are changed. As I sit in the 'therapy room' as a facilitator for group therapy, I see 'folks' look up and refer to what Dr. Robertson has made clear for them in charts they can examine to learn the language of emotion. He has given them a language to use in the group. I see how that changes the "conversation" in ways that are repeatedly helpful. Those who read and apply Dr. Robertson's ideas will discover that impact as well, over and over.

A genuinely new insight
By Mark Hurst
For professionals who work with authoritarian men (cops, military, corrections among many other traditionally male career categories) this will be a valuable resource full of new ways to think about the age-old challenges they bring to the therapy room. For everyone else, it provides a compassionate look at how these difficult men came to be the way they are. We all know these men: we have worked for, or with, them and often we have hated them or been afraid of them. While offering no excuses for the damage they've done, Dr. Robertson offers understanding that will at least increase your tolerance and guide you in knowing how to handle them.

Very readable, very useful...
By Tomsk2010
Dr. Robertson has produced an important and eminently useful volume for the treatment of authoritarian men. From the perspective of an educator with a background in men's studies research, I find it to be something that would fill a crucial gap in graduate level training.
Drawing on a wide variety of sources extending beyond clinical psychology and making no assumptions about the reader's background in gender studies, the author begins by outlining the historical context, and etiology of authoritarian personality types. From there, he moves on to clinical composite cases that reveal vivid details of the inner world of such men, doing so with rare respect and compassion. I see that as particularly important for students, since this population can provoke the strongest counter-transference reactions in those with the least experience.
Another unique element is the chapter on assessment. The author places the process in an interpersonal context that can enhance the therapist-client relationship rather than detract from it. He does so by emphasizing collaboration in the process, rather than making the client feel exposed and judged. Also notable in this chapter is the deft handling of religion which looms large in the lives of such men, yet is so often neglected or misunderstood by clinicians.
The remaining chapters take the reader through multi-modal treatment approaches, highlighting key defenses with suggestions for how to manage them (for example, re-framing defense mechanisms as "blocks to self-understanding."). In doing so, he answers that persistent question that supervisors must address with every anxious and frustrated supervisee at some point: "What do I do now?"
When making choices for course reading, instructors try to identify resources that will serve as in-absentia teachers. Very often, we have to settle for those that are the least dry and confusing, rather than the most understandable and useful. With "Tough Guys and True Believers" Dr. Robertson has most certainly accomplished the latter. Written in a voice that is both authoritative, yet conversational, it is vastly more readable and useful than texts typical of graduate training programs. As such, I intend to make it required reading for practicum and internship students, as well as a primary text for a course on psychotherapy with men
