“…Epoché , “a Greek word meaning to stay away from or abstain” (Keat, 1999, p. 252), is relevant to this discussion because it refers to “setting aside prejudgments, biases, and preconceived ideas about things” (p. 252) in order to foster the development of rapport. Indeed, as the supervisory relationship develops and the empathetic connection between the supervisor and the supervisee deepens, it becomes critical for the person in power (i.e., the supervisor) to set aside or abstain from his or her socialized preconceptions regarding men and masculinity (Eichenfield & Stevens, 1987; Good & Sherrod, 2001).…”

Psychologists must be prepared to serve increasingly diverse clients. However, research suggests that specific consequences of a traditional male socialization, collectively known as gender role conflict (GRC), interfere with trainees' developing appropriate therapeutic skills with certain populations. In an effort to address this, and to inform those involved in the training and supervision of male therapists, this article discusses (a) the theory of male GRC, (b) its relationship to the clinical performance of male psychologists, (c) links between that relationship and sense of self-efficacy as a therapist, and (d) specific suggestions for addressing GRC during the course of clinical training.

He is an assistant professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. His professional interests focus on men's issues, specifically male gender role conflict as well as hypoemotional stereotypes of men and their impact on training and supervision. DAVID L. VOGEL received his PhD in counseling psychology from the University of Florida. He is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at Iowa State University. His professional interests include gender stereotypes and issues of gender in counseling and training, as well as communication patterns in intimate relationships.
