“…However, anxiety is also likely to prompt an individual to seek help, potentially increasing the patient's chance of an earlier diagnosis. The results showed that these patients also have a more open personality style and better coping skills, protective factors that may potentially lead them to be more likely to seek help, be more accepting of their illness, and have a better chance of coping – two variables that have not been explored previously. Therefore, patients whose diagnosis has been revised to BD are not only diagnosed with depression at an earlier age and experience more manic symptoms and anxiety sensitivity, but also possess resilience factors, such as an open personality style and better coping skills – two psychological variables that are beneficial in patients with mental illness, and potentially assist in delaying the onset, and thereby the diagnosis, of BD.…”

“…For example, using a college student sample, Kakhnovets (2011) investigated the relationships among personality (as measured by the NEO Personality Inventory; Coosta and McCrae 2008), expectations about counseling, and attitudes toward counseling. It was found that as participants reported greater openness to new experiences, they showed more favorable attitudes toward counseling.…”

This study examined attitudes toward face-to-face (f2f) and online counseling among 228 Korean college students. In addition, it tested a hypothesized model proposing that general propensities (i.e., self-concealment, openness to experience, and loss of face) would influence counseling-specific expectations (i.e., self-stigma and disclosure expectations), which, in turn, would predict attitudes toward f2f and online counseling. Findings mirrored the results of earlier studies revealing that self-concealment was negatively related to attitudes toward both f2f and online counseling, while openness to experience and disclosure expectations were positively related. However, whereas self-stigma was associated with negative attitudes toward f2f counseling, it was not related to attitudes toward online counseling. In addition, disclosure expectations accounted for f2f attitudes more than online attitudes.

“…Although men seek counseling services for myriad reasons, they tend to be less inclined to attend counseling than are women (Kakhnovets, ; Mahalik, Good, & Englar‐Carlson, ). Given that some men are reluctant to seek help when experiencing distress, they are more likely to experience isolation, which may result in greater mortality and lower quality of life (Bonhomme, ).…”

The male experience is framed by context, power, character, personalities, and relationships, which are interwoven in complex ways. Within these contexts, men navigate their professional and personal relationships with varying levels of awareness of their personal qualities and competencies, impact on others, psychological limitations, and interpersonal power and influence. This article applies the Developmental Relational Counseling (DRC) model (Duffey & Haberstroh, 2012) with men. Two de-identified case examples illustrate a counselor's work using DRC. Some details have been altered to protect client anonymity. As men develop the capacity to see others and themselves more clearly, they may become better positioned to participate in and enjoy their important relationships, using feedback, self-reflection, and a balanced self-perception.DRC is a conceptual model designed to help clients (a) perceive themselves and others more accurately, (b) gain awareness of their degree of power and influence, and (c) deepen selfcompassion and compassion for others (Duffey & Haberstroh, 2012). DRC is significantly informed by relational-cultural theory (RCT) and influenced by the Enneagram personality typology, cognitive theories, and narrative theories. We provide a review of RCT and a brief summary of how the other theories influenced the development of DRC. These summaries give context to the rationale and structure of DRC and its application with male clients. For a more thorough review of each of these theories, the reader is referred to Jordan (2010), Beck (2011), White and Epston (1990), Daniels and Price (2000), Duffey and Haberstroh (2011), Riso and Hudson (2000), and Palmer (1996.

DRC is informed by relational-cultural theory and influenced by the Enneagram personality typology and cognitive and narrative theories. This article outlines the DRC model in counseling practice with men. Men involved in counseling services may use this approach to expand their personal awareness and promote mutual understanding in their relationships.
