I really don't think psychology plays a major role in this. Ultimately blood flow, inflammation, miniaturization of follicles should be the focus. Sure, there is crisis/stress related hair-loss- but that is not male pattern baldness (different causes and cures).
Also on Shannon's question "What has dandruff got to do with hair loss?" - I cannot answer for what jonathan4all was thinking, but anti-dandruff shampoos actually help with shedding/hair diameter (http://www.sghairtalk.com/temp/product-k...ntific.htm), So it is not dandruff per se that is related to hair loss, but rather what ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione are doing that seems to matter.
Possibly killing fungus is one aspect - but I think we are back to inflammation mainly:
"The researchers believed that ketoconazole was able to increase hair growth because of
--its broad antifungal activities against the microbes colonizing the scalp flora; and
--its anti-inflammatory properties"

In short - going back to Shannon's earlier comment - "Sending more oxygen and nutrients to the follicles" - I think this would address balding in the most direct way. Again, anyone who grows facial/chest/back hair knows they are perfectly capable of growing hair if the blood and nutrients are there!!! No need to venture into "womb psychology"
