Introducing the Male Psychology Section, the ‘Glasgow Effect’ and the Male Psychology event

Abstract

The Male Psychology Section was established in 2018. The section highlights the need to approach some issues in psychology from the gender perspective, promoting unity in diversity and respect for differences, and supports efforts to create gender-friendly mental health services. The chair of Male Psychology, Dr John Barry was invited to Glasgow to give a talk about gender bias and ‘toxic masculinity’ in relation to what is generally addressed as the ‘Glasgow Effect’. The Male Psychology is a fresh section of the BPS and welcomes questions and interest form students at all levels.
