The guidelines are based on 40 years of research and theory in the psychology of men and masculinities and took nearly 13 years to complete.

Dr. McDermott was a contributor and helped draft several of the guidelines related to men's sexism, sexual assault, and avoidance of help-seeking. Dr. McDermott's research program assessing the negative and positive aspects of different masculinities was also featured in the Monitor article. You can download a copy here
