AB  - The current article examines the practice of coaching as a possible alternative to conventional therapy for men. Although overviews of coaching have been outlined, none have specifically addressed how this particular helping modality might fit with the cultural demands of men resistant to conventional sources of professional help. This article provides suggestions for how coaching may address possible conflicts and paradoxes between men's gender role socialization and help-seeking attitudes and behaviors, as well as overviews some of the problems within the current practice of coaching. Suggestions for research with using coaching are also addressed.
