Client-Preferred Therapist Sex Role Orientations.
McKinnon, Dean G.
Journal of Counseling Psychology, v37 n1 p10-15 Jan 1990
Analyzed clients' (N=210) questionnaires rating willingness to see and disclose to androgynous, masculine, or feminine therapist on basis of written description. Clients rated androgynous- and masculine-oriented therapists significantly more favorably than feminine-oriented therapists. Masculine men received highest ratings and feminine men lowest. Results illustrate stereotypical prejudices and suggest noncomparability of findings from analogue and field settings. (Author/PVV)
