Male mental health professionals (e.g. social workers, psychologists) are a minority of providers in eating disorder treatment spaces, and there is a drastic need to increase their representation in this clinical area. This Last Word outlines the barriers that impede male mental health professionals from specializing in eating disorder treatment, such as masculine gender norms, and provides four specific recommendations to enhance training, hiring, retention, and the development of male mental health professionals in the treatment of people with eating disorders. These recommendations include, developing gender awareness, specialized training, talking about gender, and gender and relationships. Building the representation of male mental health professionals in eating disorder treatment may reduce stigma and myths about these disorders and have positive impacts on clients across genders. |
