Men, Masculinity & Psychotherapy
|
|
|
|
Details: |
This workshop for female and male therapists will explore men’s relationship to therapy by first considering what we understand a
‘man’ to be, and by linking this to the culturally dominant masculinities we see around us.
We shall explore the complexity of such masculinities, examining their nature, their effects and what they ask of us as psychotherapeutic practitioners (and clients), particularly in terms of the meanings associated with emotional distress and healing. This exploration will be situated within a social context highlighting the range of cultural, as well as psychological, barriers men may experience in accessing therapeutic provision. Finally the workshop will explore the implications of these barriers for those working within the therapy arena, considering ways in which they may be challenged and overcome in the services we provide.
