Episode 220: Why men don’t go to therapy

According to recent statistics, women are anywhere from
one-and-a-half to three times more likely to seek out mental
health services in a given 12-month period than men are. This
means that between 60-75% of psychotherapy patients at any given
time are women. Why might this be the case? In this episode, I
will discuss my pet theory on the subject, which describes how
several historical factors conspired to enshrine certain biases
in the theory and practice of psychotherapy that continue to
exude their influence today.
