Toward creating positive masculinity? Art therapy as seen by male art therapists and male adolescent clients

The current study examined the experiences and perceptions of art therapy of seven male art therapists and five male adolescent clients treated by male therapists. An interpretative phenomenological analysis of semi-structured interviews was conducted to gain insights into the meaning of art therapy for both the therapists and the clients. Two themes emerged from the analysis. The first was termed “toward positive masculinity” and dealt with the specific verbal and non-verbal characteristics of the relationship between therapists and clients, its challenges, and the ways in which hegemonic gender stereotypes are preserved as well as overturned. The second covered the characteristics of the art process and products as they reflect the binary gender division. The findings suggest that the place of the father in developmental and clinical work should be revisited and that greater attention should be paid to critical feminist theories and the “new psychology of men” in theories of art therapy and in clinical settings.

A Review of Research on Masculinity Ideologies Using the Male Role Norms Inventory

Within the past twenty five years, the new psychology of men has pioneered advancements in understanding and conceptualizing gender role expectations using the Gender Role Strain Paradigm. Gender ideology, an individual's in-ternalization of cultural belief systems regarding gender role norms, is the core construct of the Gender Role Strain Paradigm. The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive summary of findings from research on masculinity ideologies using the Male Role Norms Inventory (MRNI) conducted over the past 15 years. A review of data on the psychometric properties of the MRNI, along with cross-cultural and cross-national analyses will be presented, as will the relationship between traditional ideologies and other constructs. The article concludes with suggested directions for future research and practice using the MRNI.

The Silencing of Self in Men

ABSTRACT Gender socialization causes “normative traumatization” in many men, who live with dissociated ego states that interfere with intimacy, and/or with their work lives. The “new psychology of men” outlines the traumatic etiology: (a) small boys are pushed to sharply disidentify with their mothers; (b) this trauma is repressed due to shame; (c) many boys are further traumatized by insufficient fathering. This paper expands on this explanation, arguing that it is important to add dissociationto our clinical understanding. Case examples show how trauma, attachment and gender theories, combined with appropriate therapeutic techniques, significantly enhance the progress these men are able to make in treatment.

A New Psychology of Men

A New Psychology of Men. Ronald F. Levant & William S. Pollack (Eds.). New York: Basic Books. 1995. 402 pp. Hardcover ISBN 0-46508656-X. $40.00. There was a time when male psychology was seen as the model of health, and female psychology was seen as pathological. Assertive, active masculinity was contrasted with passive, dependent femininity. But those days are gone. As Pollack (1995) states, "The monuments built of men, by men, and for men are tumbling.... Even their virtues are suspected as vices." Although the pace of change is slow, men's roles at home and at work are being redefined, and the psychology of men-how they develop and how they function psychologically as adults-is also changing. Perhaps the rate of change in men's roles crossed a threshold in the 1990s, triggering a surge of new interest in men's needs, their responsibilities, and the roles they have entered in post-industrial, post-feminist, post-modern America. For example, the 1995 Million Man March in Washington, DC, brought attention to African American men, along with a public debate about their roles in families, the economy, and the community. Several national conferences have made fatherhood the central focus for the year. National debates have centered on the responsibilities of single and divorced fathers, as well as the rights of gay men. Robert Bly's Men's Movement continues to attract new warriors, despite the attacks by critics. On many fronts, men and women are actively redefining what it means to be male. To understand the changes in men and to become current with some of the most solid research programs aimed at both the old style masculinity and the emerging new psychology of men, Levant and Pollack's edited volume is essential reading. It is a readable collection of theoretical papers on male development and psychological functioning, reviews of research on men, clinical approaches to men's changing roles, as well as analyses of the diverse developmental experiences of minority males. The papers present a refreshing social-scientific approach to men's roles, without the ideological cliches of either radical feminists or neo-masculinists. The chapters document a 15-year program of theory development, research, and applications spawned by Joseph Pleck's (1981) gender rolestrain paradigm. Pleck's theory was one of the earliest attempts to integrate the emerging critical views of traditional male roles, and it laid the groundwork for the social constructionist perspectives on gender roles that emerged in the 1980s. He argued that the traditional ideals of masculinity-which include the demands for achievement, aggressiveness, toughness, sexual prowess, and psychological autonomy-were bad for men's health. First, the standards were inconsistent with human needs and were so unachievable that many men felt they never lived up to them. Second, in trying to live up to the self-destructive standards, many boys and young men went through traumatizing experiences that damaged them psychologically. …

A New Psychology of Men

This volume provides a multiauthored synopsis of the current state of profeminist academic men's studies, primarily from a psychological perspective. The chapters are divided among four sections: theory, research, applications, and varieties of masculinity. The last includes ethnic subcultures, cross-cultural comparisons, and forms of homosexuality and bisexuality. An important theory underlying much of the work is Joseph Pleck's gender role strain paradigm, which emphasizes the conflicts and stresses inherent in gender stereotyping and traditional cultural expectations of men, although pointedly ignoring any benefits therein. The theory posits multiple implications for normal and abnormal male psychology, including effects on development of self-esteem, levels of anxiety, traumatic experience of nonconformity to male stereotypes, and development of dysfunction and psychopathology. The chapter by William Pollack is an effort to update psychoanalytic theories of human development taking feminist and new male psychology into account. It is among the more in-depth and balanced in the
