Counseling for Young Men

Paper Summary:

This paper explores the existing research about men's attitudes towards counseling and the prevailing belief that men are more likely to have a negative perception of counseling.

From the Paper:

"Lucas (1997) suggests that men and women differ with regard to identity development and psychological development, and these differences may impact counseling approaches (p. 123). Further he concludes that men are more likely to rely on self reliance methods for dealing with psychological issues than women, and that this difference rests largely on male's perceptions of what is considered socially normal and acceptable. A large majority of the differences that exist with regard to identity development and psychological development may be attributed to social and environmental factors rather than biological ones based on the information presented in this study and others that examine the role of gender and behavior."
