Description
Cultural ideas of masculinity in the United States are reflected by attitudes about consumption of alcohol, same-sex expressions of affection, fatherhood, and desirable partnership qualities. As our culture increasingly values gender equality and challenges hegemonic masculinity, constructs of masculinity will shift to reflect these changes. We posit that group processes for men in a therapeutic context will foster self-constructs for men who identify as masculine and consume alcohol within our culture's emerging standards of gender equality.
