Gendered dynamics in outpatient psychotherapy: An interpretative phenomenological analysis of female patients' and male therapists' experiences
Participants offered varied and sometimes conflicting views on gender's role in outpatient psychotherapy. While they acknowledged its influence, some felt other factors held greater significance. These differing perspectives reflect diverse experiences of gender, which, if not adequately addressed in therapy, may hinder the therapeutic process.
