This article explores what needs to be considered for body psychotherapy with male clients. It touches on the debate around masculinity, and presents an overview of the research into why contemporary psychotherapy isn't suitable for many men, and what characteristics male-appropriate psychotherapy needs to have. These findings are then applied to male appropriate body-psychotherapy, and illustrated with brief case descriptions. The article also offers some reflection on issues that can arise when working with heterosexual or gay clients as a heterosexual or gay body psychotherapist. The author maintains that body-psychotherapy, with its emphasis on the unity of body and soul, its "hands on" approach, and its ability to reconcile cognition and emotion, seems to be particularly suited for working with men--if certain adjustments are made for male clientele. Keywords: masculinity, gender, male-appropriate psychotherapy, psychotherapy research, body- psychotherapy with men
