“…Mason (1991) describes shame in women struggling with eating disorders and alcoholism, noting that shame is more common in women than men, arguing that the impacts of patriarchy, objectification and abuse both instill and ensure women's shame. Ashely, Marsden, and Brady (2003) report that social stigma, labelling and guilt serve as significant barriers to women's seeking treatment (see also Forth-Finegan, 1991;Lisansky Gomberg, 1987). Poole (2005), writing for the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, identifies stigma and negative stereotypes about women's substance use as barriers to treatment.…”

Past research has shown that treatment services for problem gambling are being underutilized in Ontario, especially by women. Our pilot study involves the development of a Tutorial Workbook (TW) designed specifically to address the special issues and treatment needs of women who gamble and develop consequent problems. Investigators tested the effectiveness of the intervention and reviewed comments from women gamblers on the contents and layout of the workbook. The TW study involved 12 modules and required progress update and feedback forms for each. A mixed method analysis was used to evaluate the intervention, with quantitative and qualitative feedbacks indicating that it was well received by participants. The majority reported that the program helped them modify gambling behaviours through increased understanding and awareness of their triggers. They reported feeling better about themselves, improved mood and anxiety levels, feeling less isolated, positive changes in their relationships and hope for the future. Their input provided suggestions for changes to the TW. The TW will serve women seeking selfhelp materials, including on-line or paper-based support. As such, it expands services to reach a sub-group of women who might not otherwise seek or accept treatment because of a variety of barriers.Keywords: Women and gambling, problem gambling, treatment, self-help work book RésuméDans des recherches faites précédemment, on a montré que les services de traitement de problèmes liés au jeu compulsif sont sous-utilisés en Ontario, surtout par les femmes.

Attention to the interpersonal and relational processes ofAlthough feminist program evaluations have become more common in recent years, how feminist evaluators actually negotiate the processes of program evaluation has been relatively underarticulated. In this chapter, we describe the emergence of an initial framework for feminist evaluation through our participation in a program evaluation grounded in feminist philosophy, process, and values. We discuss three particular aspects of this framework based on our experiences as facilitators of an evaluation team with the mission of evaluating a women's substance abuse prevention program. First, in reassessing the issue of voice, we propose that feminist evaluations must strive to collaboratively incorporate the participant stakeholders' and the evaluators' voices into the evaluation design and implementation, circumventing the hierarchical organizational context. In feminist evaluations, the voices of stakeholders involved with the program are seen as the starting point for the development of the evaluation design as well as for an ongoing gender and sociopolitical analysis of the developing process. Second, we invoke cooperative imagery to describe the development of strategies designed to create a nonhierarchical evaluation team. Finally, we present the ideological frames of reference that served to root our feminist evaluation, and the links between our shared relational perspective, beliefs about feminism, and our understanding of women's sociocultural existence. We conclude by arguing that feminist evaluations may be different from other evaluations more in terms of their processes than their outcomes.

This research explored forgiving and its relationship to adaptive moral emotional processes: proneness to shame, guilt, anger, and empathic responsiveness. Gender differences associated with forgiving were analyzed. Participants were 138 graduate students in a large northeastern urban university. Results revealed that guilt‐proneness was positively related to Total Forgiveness, as were Empathetic Concern and Perspective Taking. A positive relationship between anger reduction and Overall Forgiveness was found. Guilt‐proneness, anger reduction, and detachment informed the process of forgiveness for women. For men, age, shame‐proneness, and pride in behavior informed the process of forgiveness. Implications and possible research are discussed.
