“…Similarly, his physician can stress that prostate cancer is difficult to adjust to and that many men who are treated for the illness experience periods of distress (McCarthy & Holliday, 2004). These actions are likely to legitimize emotionality and to aid men like Terrance in developing greater comfort with, and flexibility in, expressing vulnerabilities (Courtenay, 2001).…”

Prostate cancer is the most prevalent solid tumor malignancy and second-leading cause of death from cancer for American men. As a consequence of treatment-related side effects, men living with prostate cancer experience various obstacles to positive mental health. Unfortunately, relatively little is known about factors that promote or impede men's adjustment to these obstacles. In this article, the authors identify three masculine gender scripts that may contribute to men's adjustment following treatment for prostate cancer. To organize the discussion, the authors review related literature and, through case examples, illustrate how masculine gender scripts may influence men's adjustment. Directions for gender-sensitive interventions and future clinical research are provided.

“…The names also echo the gendered patterns of assistance request, documented in the literature, in which women feel more comfortable asking for helpas such asking correlates with the social perceptions of femininity-while men find it harder to ask for emotional assistance, as manifestations of neediness threaten patriarchal perceptions of masculinity (McCarthy & Holliday, 2004;Yousaf, Popat, & Hunter, 2014).…”

“…Moreover, as mentioned above, men usually tend not to participate in emotional therapy, even in times of hardship or in the wake of traumatic events (McCarthy & Holliday, 2004). Seeking emotional help conflicts with masculine expectations, which demand that men are strong, tough and independent (Yousaf et al, 2014).…”

This article is based on intensive fieldwork in the two Israeli shelters designated for victims of human trafficking and slavery. The shelters, one for women and one for men, are a refuge for survivors of sex trafficking; labor migrants subjected to severe exploitation by their employers; and asylum seekers who arrived in Israel after experiencing severe physical and emotional abuse at the hands of kidnappers and smugglers en route to Israel. The study included interviews with policy makers and professionals, and with women and men who resided at the shelters, as well as an analysis of the relevant legislation and official reports. The article explores the problematic gendered differentiations between the two shelters. Most significantly, while support for residents of the shelter for women is anchored by emotional and psychological rehabilitation, residents of the shelter for men do not receive any therapeutic support. At the same time, while staff in the shelter for men put significant effort into the reintegration of the men into the labor force, the women's employment prospects receive less attention. Based on these and other findings, the article cautions against gender-biased rehabilitation services for victims of human trafficking and slavery, and calls for a gendersensitive rehabilitation theory and practice.

“…Counselor awareness of personal bias is essential for effective client diagnosis and treatment (Morrow & Deidan, 1992). Authors have recommended that gender bias be addressed in counselor education courses, in addition to embedding male and female gender issues throughout a program's curriculum (McCarthy & Holliday, 2004).…”
