Special Issue on the Psychology of Men's Health - June 2001
Icreasingly men's health is gaining attention from psychologist exploring the
gendered nature of contemporary society. A gendered approach to the psychology
of men's health situates individual men in their social, cultural and political
contexts, addressing the social construction of masculinities and the effects
that gender roles, stereotypes, and myths about appropriate behaviour for men
have on men's health. Issues for a psychology of men's health may include, but
are not limited to, men's relative reluctance to seek help for medical and
psychological problems; avoidance of the expression of emotion; aggressive and
unsafe sexual behaviours and attitudes; high rate of risky behaviours;
relationships with family and work; and the negotiation of a diversity of
masculinities within a diversity of cultures and sexualities.
Men's Talk programme (UK)
My name is Michael Flannery, Sylvia
Brown from Liverpool Education Authority advised me to contact you. I have
recently completed my Sociology degree. In addition I have researched, developed
and successfully delivered prevention programmes for young males in Liverpool
schools. The programmes are aimed at prevention of violence, suicide, criminal
involvement, alcohol and substance misuse. The programmes are named, Men's Talk
and Young Men's Talk and explore the complexities of masculinities and seek to
equip the young males with positive emotional coping skills.
My background was co-facilitating the male
perpetrators of domestic violence programme at the Zero Tolerance initiative and
co-facilitating men's health groups in a variety of settings.

THE
charity Refuge provides the following statistics on domestic violence:
ONE woman in
four will experience abuse from her partner at some point in her life;
ONE woman in nine is severely beaten by her partner every year;
IN 1997, 55,000 UK women moved into refuge accommodation to escape domestic
violence;
SINCE 1981 the largest increase in violent crimes has been incidents of domestic
violence;
DOMESTIC violence is still the least likely crime to be reported to the police
– only one in three crimes resulting in injury are reported; and
IN 90 per cent of domestic incidents children were in the same or the next room.

The
City of Edinburgh Council (Daphne 2001)
Male
Violence Against Women : Multi-agency Intervention.
Our
research indicates that across Europe there are very few support programmes for
violent men, in particular those
who have not been through the criminal justice system. The City of Edinburgh
Council intends to establish an accessible service for men who voluntary
wish to address their violent
behaviour, which will, innovatively, be integrated within the existing
multidisciplinary work being undertaken with the City on the issue of male
violence against women, children and young
people. The ultimate aim is to shape future services to reduce the number of
women, children and young people
affected by male violence. The pilot will include: good practice exchange with
European partners; staff training; testing the transferability of the
Edinburgh approach; establishing a group
of local practitioners to go on to develop service provision; monitoring,
evaluating and disseminating of the project results.

Gender,
Masculinity and Violence : Breaking the Chains.
This
project, Gender, Masculinity and Violence, aims to raise awareness and knowledge
about ways
of working to promote a masculinity which confronts gender violence.
The further aim is that
solidarity, networking and linkages be developed to strengthen work in
this area with the focus on
building support among interested groups and organisations in Europe.
This will be done through
raising awareness within Europe by disseminating information about
groundbreaking work on this
issue taking place in Nicaragua and the Caribbean and agreeing follow-up
strategies and actions that
such groups can carry out to help sustain such work.
It will be done by means of :
Production of a Manual on Masculinity and Gender for distribution in the
UK and Europe. A Conference on Gender, Masculinity and Violence in Development
linking UK and
European practitioners and academics with Third world practitioners.
A speaking tour/visitor interchange with representatives from three
partner organisations from
Nicaragua and Dominican Republic to visit United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain
and Belgium.. A participatory evaluation and follow-up planning session with
participants from the North and
South, who will be taking part in these events in Europe, with the aim of
agreeing strategic
follow-up activities.
Establishment of a web-page within the CIIR web-site on Gender,
Masculinity and Violence.
