    Every part of our lives, whether we are aware of it or not, is touched by gender identity and the cultural and contextual meanings made of it. However, perhaps because of the very pervasive nature of gendered experience, reflexivity around one’s own gender identity is rarely covered in much depth in professional trainings. Instead, gender is often either taken for granted or otherwise felt to be the preserve of ‘experts’ who work with populations where questions of gender are understood to be the principal presenting problem.

    In these turbulent times for gender politics in general and masculinities in particular, we explore an important context in which gender roles are developed, understood and performed for men: in their friendships, intimate relationships and the body. Dr Beattie explores contemporary cultural and psychological dilemmas for men as they negotiate sexuality and intimate relationships and considers how these may inform our therapeutic process and content. The aim is to build an affirmative therapeutic practice, both for working with men as well as with clients dealing with issues that affect the men in their lives.

    The ways gender roles are understood and experienced has changed radically over the last century.  While a simple, fixed masculine-feminine binary was once taken for granted, gender is now widely agreed to be a more complex and diverse experience for many.  We have seen traditional, orthodox ways of being masculine in Western cultures being challenged by feminism and gay and civil rights movements.  And just as more inclusive, emotionally sensitive ways of being masculine are emerging, we are also seeing resistance to change exemplified in the rise of social frameworks that valorise traditional masculine norms of self-reliance, winners-and-losers and homogeneity over diversity.

    Over the last few decades, two macro-trends have redefined the dynamics at play in the realms of gender, power and privilege. On one hand, we have seen traditional gender roles being challenged and dismantled as feminism has confronted patriarchal social structures. On the other hand, just as more inclusive, emotionally sensitive ways of being ‘masculine’ are emerging – we have seen the rise of masculinist-nationalist politics around the world. These concurrent themes have found reflection in the rise of social frameworks that, while valorising traditional masculine norms, also build expectations of heightened sensitivity from men as fathers, partners and sons. Inevitably, these themes present as subtle, yet discordant manifestations in the therapeutic encounter. When working with male clients, we can often face a refusal to cooperate with the therapist, high attachment expectations and / or denial of emotional availability – all of which may be better understood against the background of emerging challenges to orthodox masculinity.
