The APA Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men were developed by the American Psychological Association (APA) to assist psychologists and others in providing effective and culturally sensitive care to boys and men across diverse backgrounds. The guidelines were released in 2018.
These guidelines acknowledge the influence of traditional gender norms and masculinity ideals on the psychological health and well-being of males. They aim to promote greater awareness of how societal expectations around masculinity can contribute to challenges such as emotional repression, aggression, substance abuse, and relational difficulties. By addressing these issues, the guidelines encourage practitioners to support healthier, more adaptive conceptions of masculinity and foster the well-being of boys and men throughout their lifespan.
The guidelines can be found here.
Also see this useful commentary on the APA Guidelines, "Clarifying the American Psychological Association's Guidelines for Boys and Men", by Ronald F. Levant and Ryon McDermott. Both were both centrally involved in the development of the boys and men practice guidelines over a 13-year period. Furthermore, Dr Levant was the cofounder of the APA division that produced them and as APA president in 2005 he created the task force to write the guidelines, and Dr McDermott is the current president of that division (at time of writing in 2022).
