Book excerpt: The current study examined the impact of the labels of provider, treatment focus, and treatment location on males' willingness to seek and recommend treatment, and males' experience of public and self-stigma. One hundred forty-two men were assigned to a treatment condition and provided measures that examined their experience of stigma, male gender role conflicted and attitudes or intentions to seek professional mental health services. No significant results were found for main effects. However, a significant difference was found between males who had and those who had not received previous therapy in willingness to recommend based on provider labels. Those who had previous therapy were more likely to recommend a "psychologist." Those without previous therapy were more willing to recommend a "counselor." Additionally, "Mental Health Clinic" was preferred with the focus "coping with feelings" while "Counseling Center" was preferred with "coping with problems." Clinical implications of this study, and future directions for research are discussed.
