Understanding and Treating Incels: Case Studies, Guidance, and Treatment of Violence Risk in the Involuntary Celibate Community


Add your own review!

Overview

Understanding and Treating Incels is an indispensable guide for mental health clinical staff, social workers, prevention specialists, educators, and threat assessment professionals who want to better understand the involuntary celibate movement, assess individuals’ potential for violence, and offer treatment approaches and prevention efforts. Chapters explore the movement in terms of gender, technology, the media, and pornography usage. The book discusses how the incel mentality has motivated individuals to misogynistic worldviews and increased rage and disillusionment, and inspired acts of targeted violence such as school shootings and mass casualty events. Later chapters walk the reader through three cases studies and offer treatment considerations to assist mental health professionals and those developing education and prevention-based programming. The complete text gives the reader useful perspectives and insights into incel culture while offering mental health clinicians and educators guidance on treatment and prevention efforts.

Reviews

In Understanding and Treating Incels, Van Brunt and Taylor take on a timely, uncomfortable, under-researched, and dangerous form of misogyny. The text provides a methodical examination of the state of knowledge, case examples, and prospective interventions to address the dysfunction and trauma associated with incel ideologies, both by the men who have internalized limiting and cynical notions of manhood and the people at risk of being subjected to their harmful expressions. The text is comprehensive, accessible, and actionable for practitioners and scholars alike. - Jason A. Laker, professor, Department of Counselor Education, San Jose State University, California
