Abstract
Abstract „Der schwere Weg zur Männlichkeit: Erzählungen über Homophobie und Vaterschaft“
From the perspective of psychotherapists involved in working with young men, it is particularly interesting to consider ways in which boys may construct versions of their masculinities through an amalgam of social and personal discourses. Amongst the issues relating to young masculinities to arise systematically in research studies and in psychotherapeutic work, two are of particular interest for emerging understanding of the emotional consequences of new structures of masculine identities. These are the relationships boys have with their fathers, and the impact of social discourses on homosexuality.
