Dear American Men’s Studies Association,
I have noticed an increase in men accessing my psychotherapy services for individual therapy or initiating couples therapy with their wives or female partners.
Is there a general increase in the amount of men accessing psychological services? If yes, how do you understand this change or trend? Do you know if there are any differences between American and Canadian men and the utilization of psychotherapy?
Thanks,
Margaret
