RESUMO
The present thesis aims to investigate the male clients and how they have been reacting to recent changes on gender relations, trough the psychotherapists´ eyes. A theoretical review of existing gender studies, psychological studies of gender, and of masculinity studies, in the light of the constructivist perspective, is done initially. Since most of the available bibliography about those themes is of foreign origin, a chapter about the relations of gender and works developed in this area in Brazil, is presented next. Finally, the research carried out with 10 clinical psychologists is presented. The main results obtained from this research were divided in two main subjects. The first one, gender in the clinic, discusses the psychological clinic as a space of gender construction, and how the psychologists are doing this. The second one, relations of gender, discusses some present dilemmas in the process of gender relations´ changes, and which may be the psychologist´s role in that.
