Psychoeducation Interventions with GRC
References to past psychoeducational GRC programs (i.e. , interventions) and their evaluations are referenced in this file. Journal publications on GRC workshops, classes, and educational programs are listed as well as research studies on their effectiveness.
A video presentation titled “Course Contexts, Dimensions, Expectancies, Psychoeducation” defines what psychoeducation is in the context of gender roles and human development. The content may be useful in planning psychoeducation programs or academic courses.
Also, see the Teaching the Psychology of Men Resources page for classes that address how GRC and masculinity ideology are taught pedagogically. Click here for this webpage.
Finally, a video presentation on my course: “EPSY 6304 -The Psychology of Men and Boys In Counseling and Education” taught at UCONN discusses my processes and approaches to doing psychoeducation when teaching the psychology of men.
