“…Counselors who are knowledgeable about masculine socialization and who tailor their approach to work with the wide spectrum of men (Englar‐Carlson & Shepard, 2005; Englar‐Carlson et al, 2010; Norcross & Wampold, 2011) can create a context for growth and change. Creative interventions in counseling may offer innovative opportunities for men to enhance their self‐expression and develop empathic skills.…”

“…Research has shown that relating to and expressing their own emotions can be challenging for some men (Englar‐Carlson & Shepard, 2005; Englar‐Carlson, Stevens, & Scholz, 2010). Counseling work can help men develop the language to understand and communicate their emotional states (Englar‐Carlson & Shepard, 2005).…”

The authors illustrate the use of music as a tool for counseling men. They describe a creative intervention—a Musical Chronology and the Emerging Life Song—and illustrate it through a case vignette. The intervention method blends music with narrative therapy, cognitive therapy, and relational cultural theory. This intervention may help men who are challenged in their empathic capacity revisit developmental milestones, gain compassion for themselves and others, and connect with their emotions and beliefs via music.

“…A literature review revealed that existing reasons for the disparity in the numbers of men seeking counseling may be related to cultural stigmas and socioeconomic, educational, ethnic, and racial factors (Bailey & Paisley, 2004; Englar‐Carlson, Stevens, & Scholz, 2010; Lee, & Bailey, 2006; Mahalik & Rochlen, 2006; Wester, 2008; Wester, Vogel, Wei, & McLain, 2006). Others may involve the negative stigmas of help‐seeking behaviors, dynamics of power and privilege, and early loss and socialization (Bailey & Bradbury‐Bailey, 2007; Vogel & Wade, 2009).…”

This article is a content analysis of the Journal of Counseling & Development (JCD) and the Counselor Education and Supervision (CES) journal over the time frame 1981–2011. The intent of this analysis was to assess what was published in the counseling literature on men's issues. These two journals serve in prominent positions in the development of counseling as a profession. JCD is considered the flagship journal publication for the profession, and CES serves as the research guide and repository for the development of counselor educators and students. A qualitative analysis of articles in these journals was conducted to determine emergent themes and trends in publications in the counseling literature focused specifically on men's issues in counseling. Recommendations are presented for counselors and counselor education programs related to recruitment and retention of men in counseling. The key search words focused on masculinity, male, men, man, boys, gender, gay, sex roles, and other words that the literature search exposed.

“…Furthermore, understanding the gendered nature of masculinity is considered an important cultural competency (Levant & Silverstein, 2005; Liu, 2005; Mellinger & Liu, 2006). In fact, the coeditors of this special issue posit that the counseling professionals need to consider men as an underserved cultural group within a counseling context, given the disproportionate number of male clients when compared to female clients and given the unique mental health needs of many men (see Courtenay, 2011; Englar‐Carlson, Stevens, & Scholz, 2010; O'Neil, 2012). In addition, the within‐group diversity among men is vast; therefore, to increase their awareness of culturally and masculine‐sensitive interventions, counselors need to become more knowledgeable about the therapeutic and contextual variables that influence diverse male experiences.…”
