I recently discovered most of the research on men in therapy is based more on women. I recently completed this anonymous survey on “Men’s Views of Psychotherapy" and hope others fill this out as there needs to be more research with more male input. This survey also give a $15 rebate for completing the easy survey.

A participant must be: adult male, 21-years of age or older, currently in individual-outpatient psychotherapy, and has completed 3 or more psychotherapy sessions with his current therapist. Each participant receives a $15.00 gift-certificate redeemable at Amazon.com upon survey completion. If you know anyone who may be interested in contributing to the research on this topic, please send him this link:

Seeking Male Clients for Anonymous Online Study of:
MEN’S VIEWS OF PSYCHOTHERAPY

Hello,
My name is June Martin and I am a doctoral student at Fielding Graduate University. This study has been reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board of Fielding Graduate University. I am requesting your assistance with recruiting adult male participants for my doctoral dissertation research. I am looking for men aged 21 and older, who are currently in outpatient, individual psychotherapy and have had a minimum of three sessions to participate in my study on men’s views of their therapeutic relationship with their therapists.

The purpose of the study is to better understand male clients’ perspectives of what makes a therapeutic working alliance positive and helpful.

The participants in this study will complete a brief background form, three questionnaires, and two open ended questions on a secure website. The questionnaires examine male clients’ views of their therapeutic relationships with their therapists and their views of male gender roles. Data collection through a secure, confidential website is used to protect the confidentiality and anonymity of participants. All participants will be given a $15 dollar gift certificate redeemable at Amazon.com for their participation. Your participation will help in the advancement of male clients’ views of positive and helpful psychotherapy. If you know anyone who fits the above description and is willing to participate in this study, please refer them to:
