Description
Summary:This is a consensual qualitative research analysis of an archived videotaped therapeutic support group session for African American men to enhance clinical interpretation and empirical understanding of their views on gender- and race-related life issues. Three coders plus 2 auditors analyzed a 90-min videotaped session of 5 adult African American males. The analysis yielded emotions, expectations, and relationships as 3 thematic domains, with core and subcore ideas related to therapy group, family members, future goals, and father-son relationships under each, expanding the depth of knowledge and interpretation about content and interactions. Results showed that African American men did engage the support group to share personal life issues. This may mean that groups focused on common life issues might reduce resistance of African American men's utilization of conventional treatment.
