Navigating Incel Culture: Therapy Approaches for Manosphere Clients

Curt and Katie respond to all the discussions that popped up about the Netflix series Adolescence and its portrayal of a 13-year-old boy accused of murder. We chat about the complexities of working with clients labeled as "incels." We also explore the importance of understanding the impact of that label (especially when clients are not self-identified as “incels”), internet culture - particularly the manosphere, and the challenges therapists can face when working with clients holding these beliefs.

In this podcast episode we discuss working with clients labeled as

"incels"

Curt and Katie explore the focus on “incels” in the discussions about the Netflix series Adolescence. We dive into the nuances of understanding internet subcultures and how therapists can effectively work with clients influenced by the manosphere, while also addressing concerns about suicidality, homicidality, and therapy strategies.

  • What is an "Incel" and where does that term fit into the evolution of the manosphere internet community?
  • Challenges in therapy with clients from the manosphere (incels, red pill, men's rights groups)
  • The intersection of autism and the incel community in therapy
  • Safety concerns: Suicidality and homicidality in clients from manosphere communities
  • Strategies for effective therapy with clients from the incel/manosphere communities
  • Key treatment goals when working with clients from the incel community
  • Stay in Touch with Curt, Katie, and the whole Therapy Reimagined #TherapyMovement:
