Book Description
The current study examined the impact of the labels of provider, treatment focus, and treatment location on males' willingness to seek and recommend treatment, and males' experience of public and self-stigma. One hundred forty-two men were assigned to a treatment condition and provided measures that examined their experience of stigma, male gender role conflicted and attitudes or intentions to seek professional mental health services. No significant results were found for main effects. However, a significant difference was found between males who had and those who had not received previous therapy in willingness to recommend based on provider labels. Those who had previous therapy were more likely to recommend a "psychologist." Those without previous therapy were more willing to recommend a "counselor." Additionally, "Mental Health Clinic" was preferred with the focus "coping with feelings" while "Counseling Center" was preferred with "coping with problems." Clinical implications of this study, and future directions for research are discussed.

Book Description
Men's gender role conflict is a psychological state in which restrictive definitions of masculinity limit men's well-being and human potential. Gender role conflict (GRC) doesn't just harm boys and men, but also girls and women, transgendered people, and society at large. Extensive research relates men's GRC to myriad behavioral problems, including sexism, violence, homophobia, depression, substance abuse, and relationship issues. This book represents a call to action for researchers and practitioners, graduate students, and other mental healthcare professionals to confront men's GRC and reduce its harmful influence on individuals and society. James O'Neil is a pioneer in men's psychology who conceptualized GRC and created the Gender Role Conflict Scale. In this book, he combines numerous studies from renowned scholars in men's psychology with more than 30 years of his own clinical and research experience to promote activism and challenge the status quo. He describes multiple effects of men's GRC, including success, power, and competition issues restricted emotionality restricted affectionate behavior between men conflicts between men's work and family relations. O'Neil also explains when GRC can develop in a man's gender role journey, how to address it through preventative programs and therapy for boys and men, and what initiatives researchers and clinicians can pursue.

Book Description
The persistence of stigma of mental illness and seeking therapy perpetuates suffering and keeps people from getting the help they need and deserve. This volume, analysing the most up-to-date research on this process and ways to intervene, is designed to give those who are working to overcome stigma a strong, research-based foundation for their work. Chapters address stigma reduction efforts at the individual, community, and national levels, and discuss what works and what doesn't. Others explore how holding different stigmatized identities compounds the burden of stigma and suggest ways to attend to these differences. Throughout, there is a focus on the current state of the research knowledge in the field, its applications, and recommendations for future research. The Handbook provides a compelling case for the benefits reaped from current research and intervention, and shows why continued work is needed.

Book Description
Men's underutilization of mental health services continues to be one of the most consistent findings in the help-seeking literature. Many scholars suggest that the culture of therapy may be at odds with masculine socialization and men who might be most in need of help are not seeking or receiving it. Interestingly, this aversion to seeking help is not reflected in the recent growth in the practice of executive coaching. However, no studies have investigated coaching as an alternative treatment option. The purpose of this study was to explore men's attitudes and preferences about seeking professional help based on practitioner title (psychologist or executive coach), examine the stigma of seeking professional help based on intervention (therapy or executive coaching), and provide additional data on barriers to seeking help. It was hypothesized that men's conformity to masculine norms would be related to attitudes, stigma, and preferences for seeking help in several important ways. First, most men would have more positive attitudes toward seeking help from executive coaching than therapy. Second, differences in attitudes would be most pronounced for more "traditional" men. Third, executive coaching was expected to be less stigmatizing than therapy. Finally, although men might view a psychologist as more expert and trustworthy, coaching would be a more attractive treatment option. Two-hundred-nine working adult men in the U.S. participated in the online study. After filling out demographic information and assessing their conformity to masculine norms and help-seeking attitudes, participants chose one of three audio vignettes depicting a man getting professional help for a work concern. Afterwards, their attitudes toward seeking help, evaluations of the session, and ratings of stigma for the vignette character were collected. Participants also listed reasons for and against seeking professional help. Results indicate that men in the study had similar help-seeking attitudes for therapy and executive coaching; however, conformity to masculine norms predicted stigma for seeking help, and therapy was viewed as the more stigmatizing intervention. Several interesting themes around reasons for and against seeking help for both modalities also emerged. Implications of the study, as well as limitations and directions for future research, are discussed.

Book Description
Numerous studies note that women are more likely than men to seek out therapy. It is suggested that the differences in mental health utilization rates between genders are a function of gender socialization towards general help-seeking behaviors as well as about attitudes towards mental health. Central to understanding men's mental health help-seeking behavior are factors of stigma, social support, motivations for therapy, and basic psychological needs. This study examined the relationship of these factors on men's mental health-seeking behaviors by utilizing the frameworks of social influence theory and self-determination theory. A total of 317 adult males residing within the United States responded to items relating to disclosure, social influence, and motivations for therapy. Men also read and responded to a series of short stories and measures about disclosure, influence, and seeking therapy. A latent profile analysis was first conducted to determine the distinct number of profiles of men on the observed variables of stigma, social support, motivations for therapy, and basic psychological needs. From the latent profile analysis, a total of four distinct profiles emerged: Reluctant, Open, Restrictive, and Considering. Analyses were then conducted to determine the differences between these profiles on psychological openness, intentions to seek therapy, self-compassion, shame, and adherence to traditional masculine norms. The differences between these profiles were also examined using a multinomial logistic regression relating to men's disclosure to seek therapy and the influence of a partner, parent, close friend, religious or spiritual leader, and medical doctor to seek therapy. A final multinomial logistic regression was conducted to analyze the differences amongst these profiles on their reported importance to seek therapy for depression and anxiety, substance use, and suicidality. These findings demonstrate important implications for those working with men in therapy, for public education efforts surrounding men's mental health, and for those in relationships to men who are experiencing a mental health-related issue. Specifically, recognizing the heterogeneity of men's help-seeking behavior on stigma, social support, motivations for therapy, and basic psychological needs can allow therapists to better work with men in therapy in addition to increasing the knowledge of men's mental health issues to those in relationships with men.

Book Description
Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.

Book Description
Test-based psychological assessment has been significantly affected by the health care revolution in the United States during the past two decades. Despite new limitations on psychological services across the board and psychological testing in particular, it continues to offer a rapid and efficient method of identifying problems, planning and monitoring a course of treatment, and assessing the outcomes of interventions. This thoroughly revised and greatly expanded third edition of a classic reference, now three volumes, constitutes an invaluable resource for practitioners who in a managed care era need to focus their testing not on the general goals of personality assessment, symptom identification, and diagnosis so often presented to them as students and trainees, but on specific questions: What course of treatment should this person receive? How is it going? Was it effective? New chapters describe new tests and models and new concerns such as ethical aspects of outcomes assessment. Volume I reviews general issues and recommendations concerning the use of psychological testing for screening for psychological disturbances, planning and monitoring appropriate interventions, and the assessing outcomes, and offers specific guidelines for selecting instruments. It also considers more specific issues such as the analysis of group and individual patient data, the selection and implementation of outcomes instrumentation, and the ethics of gathering and using outcomes data. Volume II discusses psychological measures developed for use with younger children and adolescents that can be used for the purposes outlined in Volume I; Volume III, those developed for use with adults. Drawing on the knowledge and experience of a diverse group of leading experts--test developers, researchers, clinicians and others, the third edition of The Use of Psychological Testing for Treatment Planning and Outcomes Assessment provides vital assistance to all clinicians, and to their trainees and graduate students.
