What is it about?

This book explores male alienation and its tendencies to seek expression with destructive fantasies. Male violence is discussed, as well as self-destructive urges that preoccupy many boys and men. Treatment issues are considered including resistance, help-refusal, and deep anxieties about the internal life of the psyche.

Why is it important?

Male destructiveness continues to plague us in headlines, hospitals, schools, and families.

Perspectives

I discuss years of working with boys and men. I try to explain what has worked and what has not. I look at cases and subject matter from the media, myth, religion, and epidemiology.
