“I remember when I started training, I looked around and realized that for the first time in my life, I was an endangered minority.”
—RYAN MCKELLEY, a male psychologist at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, on the "feminization" of mental health care. Today, the takeover by women in fields like psychology and counseling is almost complete, reports the New York Times: men earn only one in five of all master's degrees awarded in psychology, down from half in the 1970s, and account for less than 10% of social workers under the age of 34. Among the American Counseling Association's membership ranks, 10% are men, compared with 30% in 1982. [via The New York Times]
