Counseling Adult Males

Abstract

This article suggests that counselors must examine their own gender‐role issues, become aware of the body of knowledge about men which is emerging in the literature, examine the implications of that literature on counseling men, and develop an effective approach to counseling men. The author presents a counseling focus on male gender‐role issues similar to a decision model for counseling and explores the use of that focus for both counseling and research with adult males.
