Product Description

Review
" This is a clear and thought-provoking book, a synthesis of much recent literature on masculine identity that should appeal to a broad readership— women as well as men." — Jim Boothroyd, "The Montreal Gazette"

Product Description
As they approach middle age, the men of the baby-boom generation are often faced with a common set of problems, which include insecurity in work, difficulties in building and maintaining relationships with women and men, and an inability to achieve even minimal feeling awareness. According to Jungian analyst Guy Corneau, these problems revolve around an overwhelming experience of the fragility that underlines conventional images of masculinity. Corneau connects this experience to the profound feeling men often have of their father's silence or absence which can be literal, but is especially emotional and spiritual. Examining the effects of the search for masculine identity in the lives of numerous men seen in therapy, he shows that the key to healing lies in the ability to be a father to oneself.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent reading without the psychobabble, 25 Jun 2000
By A Customer
I highly recomend this book to anyone who grew up without adequate parenting, and who wants to understand why he feels the way he does. Th author speaks frankly in very plain and easy language. Very accesible to anyone with no experience in reading books on psychology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for any male in search of himself., 21 Jan 1997
By A Customer
This book was easy to read without too much psychological jargon, yet it offered many insights to growing up without a stable father figure. It can be very helpful in realizing the sources of many difficulties which adults may face as a result of unresolved conflicts. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like opening up a new door, 8 Oct 2004
By A Customer
I found this bbok excellent in every way. The insights of the author have profoundly affected my view of myself and my relationships. I thoroughly recommend it. I can't vouch for how it relates to the Bible or other works of fiction, but that seems to me to be quite irrelevant.

I did enjoy this book and was captured by the first few insightful chapters. Unfortunately it went off into some Iron John heaviness near the end. Still worth a read. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the starting-points of my own journey
This book was a real eye-opener for me. I've read the whole book in one time with tears of finaly being understand at last. It's a real eye-opener for my mother too!
