Abstract
This capstone examines peer-reviewed research exploring how emotion-focused therapy and client-centered therapy together can support males with childhood sexual abuse disclosures. Several barriers interfere with male experiences of disclosure. Findings suggest male survivors of childhood sexual abuse have unique experiences due to their gender, culture, and environment. Unique barriers to males disclosing childhood sexual abuse are identified and analyzed and ethical considerations and implications for the counselling field are explored. This paper finds that therapists can take an active role when creating supportive environments for males disclosing childhood sexual abuse.
