Reader Query: research on psychotherapists and gender? March 28, 2011

Filed under: queries from readers — Jender @ 11:20 am

I was trying to find something about male psychotherapists working with female clients/patients and couldn’t find anything.
Is there something that addresses some of the issues related to this? I know that since the famous Broverman study showing a bias among male therapists who prefer working with attractive, verbal females there has been important research, i.e. Sandra Bem, Carol Gilligan,etc.

Anyone know of something?
