Abstract

ABSTRACT

This article is part of a doctoral study carried out at the University of Porto entitled "Hegemonic Masculinity and Psychological Intervention in Ecuador: Positionings and Practice" and reflects the results obtained from the qualitative interviews carried out within it. We sought to get a glimpse at the perspective of psychologists on issues around or derived from masculinity and gender, reflecting on the ways in which they are worked on in therapy. 15 qualitative interviews with psychologists were made, it was possible to obtain a clearer perspective around the positions that are maintained around gender within therapy. It was observed that psychologists maintain awareness around the aspects and effects of gender both in patients and in themselves, however, conformity, respect for the therapeutic process and/or lack of knowledge around them, prevents an adequate approach towards them.

Keywords: Gender, Masculinity, Psychotherapy, Latin America
