Scolastic and readable deconstruction of moder men

I loved this book. Dr Levant is a professor at the University I attend so this held special interest for me. He really does the reader justice by tying in case studies to illustrate his points. This is a bit dated but still highly relevant within the male dominated society of the U.S. I hope his book will be the first of many that will challenge the traditional male roles.

A scholarly and yet highly readable guide to today's manhood

This book contains accurate analyses, solidly based in research and professional experience, of the main emotional and interpersonal difficulties faced by male members of our species, in a world in which traditional roles and coping strategies are changing rapidly. It presents a fair, unbiased view, empathetic toward men and women alike. Written in a highly readable, lively style by a skilled psychotehrapist and his associate, it leads the reader to the way out of seeminly unsolvable emotional entanglementsShlomo Ariel, Ph.D, Director, Integrative Psychotherapy Center, Ramat Gan , Israel
