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.
