Gender-Sensitive Psychotherapy for Men: How Men’s Fears of Women Shape Their Intimate Relationships
Gender-Sensitive Psychotherapy for Men: How Men’s Fears of Women Shape Their Intimate Relationships
Friday, September 26, 2025
9:00 am to 12:15 pm EST
Live Webinar via Zoom
3 CEs
Men are not doing well, physically, financially, and emotionally. Being male is now the single most significant demographic factor for early death. Accordingly, there is a resurgence of interest in studying men and masculinity in our field as an essential aspect of multicultural competence. To this point, the psychology of men has not been well developed in our field, which limits our effectiveness in engaging men in treatment and providing effective clinical interventions for men and their intimate partners. This presentation aims to develop new insights into the psychology of men and explore how these understandings can be applied to clinical work with men and their intimate partners.
