Title: “Male tinted spectacles” – enhancing psychological formulation through a male gendered lens. Summary: Through staff and service user consultations, the Male Gender Strategy group gathered expertise and information (from research, service user voice and social commentary) to inform the development of male-gendered products to support formulation. Gendered formulations were tested on a group of staff and service users and the impact evaluated via interview. We found that the development and implementation of male gendered products enhanced the completion of psychological formulations, measured across improvements confidence, knowledge and case management activity on the topic of male gender. The activity also contributed to greater consideration of male gender issues across risk documentation, service-user and therapist interaction, content creation of direct psychological interventions, service development and strategic planning. Service users reported multiple positive experiences. Both groups report the potential value of the products for training, supervision and intervention settings and applicability to non-forensic cohorts.
