Gender Role Conflict Theory, Research, and Practice

Video Lectures On The Gender Role Journey Curriculum & Additional Information

In this section of the web page are video lectures and additional printed information on topics related to GRC, masculine ideology, and psychological health.

First, the gender role journey class/workshop curriculum content can be reviewed in this section. The curriculum for the gender role journey was initially created in 1983 and published in numerous publications over the years (O’Neil, 1995, 2015, O’Neil & Roberts Carroll, 1988; Kilmartin, Addis, Mahalik, O’Neil, 2013; Mahalik, Addis, Kilmartin, & O’Neil, 2013).

The initial curriculum  was created for my summer workshop, EPSY 325 “Gender Role Conflict for Helping Professionals” that was a six day, 42 hour class taught from 1983-2006 (O’Neil & Robert Carroll, 1988). In 2007, the curriculum was developed into a regular, 16 week academic class and in 2021 the course was transformed to a completely online offering.As the course has evolved, 17 major content areas have been added to the original GRC curriculum.  The new content areas are:

  • GRC Research Webpage Videos,
  • Psychoeducation,
  • Twenty-four Considerations for EPSY 6304,
  • Multicultural Psychology of Men,
  • Gender Role Journey,
  • Psychological Violence,
  • Men’s Violence Toward Women,
  • Human Vulnerability,
  • Understanding Your Emotions, Healing, & the Wounded Person Cycle,
  • Working with Emotional Pain,
  • Working With Emotional pain (audio) – Convention Presentation,
