This symposium will address a variety of theories, concepts, and clinical strategies for working with men. Using theory and current research, Dr. Addis will present an overall framework for thinking about the variety of different ways men experience, express, and respond to depression, anxiety, and other problems. By becoming mindful of how cultures of masculinity influence men’s well-being, participants will learn to recognize barriers to treatment, and also to capitalize on opportunities for engaging men in the therapy process. Participants will learn specific clinical strategies for working with men using a gender-based motivational interviewing (GBMI) approach. This approach has been developed by Dr. Addis and his colleagues as part of the Men’s Coping Project, an NIMH funded study of methods for enhancing men’s motivation to seek and stay in treatment.
