According to O'Neil (O'Neil, 1981a, 1981b, 1982), four empirically derived sex role conflict models (GRC), success, power and competition issues (SPC), restrictive emotions (RE), men Limited emotional behavior (RABBM) and conflict in work and family relationship (CBWFR).

The purpose of this study was to investigate gender experiences of clients and therapists in treatment relationships and how they affect the overall treatment outcome and duration. Because gender issues can create obstacles and promote progress, this article explains how sex difference affects the formation of treatment relationships and how these effects change the treatment outcome To do. Customers expect that male therapists can better control treatment, and because we believe that women are more likely to support treatment, seeing male therapists can limit the initial disclosure of clients There is sex. Also, depending on gender's accepted role, it is judged that the reliability of the therapist may decline. From the therapist's point of view, gender has been proven to change their expectations for customers. Female therapists are found to be more tolerant and acceptable in the course of treatment - showing more positive and positive attention

Recently, therapists are slowly paying attention to the influence of sex difference. If the overall success of the treatment relationship is considered minimal or unimportant, more female clinicians will be on site and careful study of therapist and patient gender will be required (Felton, 1986) . There is still some debate as to whether male therapists can truly understand the problems of their female patients (Felton, 1986). According to Gehart and Lyle (2001), the most appropriate answer to these questions is that, despite clinician experience, there are still issues to be solved when gender issues are barriers to clients and therapists I point out. With psychotherapy, therapists communicate important values ​​to clients by choosing questions about questions, comments, time of interpretation, and emotional reactions to customer reactions.
