Studies have addressed the stigmatization of help-seeking, but I've yet to find one that formally addresses the stigmatization of psychotherapy/counseling/mental healthcare. If you know of any or have other thoughts on this, please let me know, thank you. If anyone has ideas on how to measure the stigmatization of psychotherapy, I've love to know your ideas!

Hello Clark,
This seems to be relevant to your question:
Corrigan, P. W. (2004). How stigma interferes with mental health care. American Psychologist, 59, 614–625. doi:10.1037/0003-066X.59.7.614
Thanks to Matteo and Beatrice. I love the Ben-Porath study. And Corrigan has done amazing work in this area. By the way, I found this study to be especially impressive, for any interested in stigma research, Swiss sample of nearly 9000:

Thank you Peter Jansson. I'm taking a look at the book now, I think it will be helpful.
