Abstract
  • The purpose of this dissertation was to contribute to deeper understanding of how men experience support seeking. The first manuscript is located in chapter 2 and titled A Qualitative Metasynthesis of Male Client Experiences of Counseling. This metasynthesis integrates sixteen pieces of qualitative research which contain first-person accounts of male clients’ experiences with counseling. This study combined queer theory and constructivist theory, utilizing constant targeted comparison to produce three key themes: (a) recognizing, (b) risking, and (c) recalibrating. The second manuscript is located in chapter 3 and titled A Netnography of Men Seeking Support Through an Online Forum for Victims of Infidelity. This study explores the way in which men seek support using initial posts, with particular attention to heteronormative structures. This study utilized thematic analysis to produce five key themes: (a) connecting with social supports (b) expressing emotions (c) requesting direction (d) seeking evaluation and (e) disclosing vulnerability. Implications for practice, training, research as well as limitations and areas for future research are explored for each manuscript. The two manuscripts are unified by their common focus on illuminating male client worldview to promote multicultural competency.
