Abstract
Men seek help less often than women and underutilize medical and mental health services. This article explores three bodies of theory and research related to men’s help seeking. Gender socialization theories, social constructionist theories, and social psychological theories are considered. Each theoretical paradigm is illustrated through case examples and considered in light of its ability to help health care providers understand men’s orientation to health care and help seeking. Strategies to increase men’s help seeking are also explored.
