Recent research, has documented a significant relationship between gender and psychological distress. Gender differences occur particularly in the rates of common mental disorders - depression, anxiety and somatic complaints. Research results was the finding that women have higher rates of mental health disorders, especially depression, than men. Gender is a critical determinant of mental health and mental illness. The morbidity associated with mental illness has received substantially more attention than the gender specific determinants and mechanisms that promote and protect mental health and foster resilience to stress and adversity. It is our intention to draw upon the existing research on psychotherapy and on the psychology of men to provide clear guidance about how to create positive, effective therapeutic outcomes with male clients. Some of the points suggested may cause clinicians to pause and question the manner in which they were trained and the way they practice psychotherapy with male clients. We consider such reflection a healthy way to evaluate how the mental health profession can effectively adapt to the needs of men. The book is organized into four sections.
