Publisher's Summary: After more than two decades of research at Harvard Medical School, clinical psychologist William Pollack concludes that our sons are in trouble. As he examines the causes of this crisis, Dr. Pollack offers ways we can help boys grow up into healthy adults.As Pollack explains, an unwritten "Boy Code" perpetuates the myths that boys are driven by testosterone and other "uncontrollable" forces, and that boys are inherently dangerous. As a result of these beliefs, boys are taught to conceal their emotions from others, keep their distance in relationships, and be tough. Real Boys offers healthier attitudes that can replace this damaging code. As the author discusses each of the myths of boyhood, he uses case studies to show how we can help boys understand and deal with such issues as anger, sexuality, peer pressure, and self-image. A New York Times best seller, Real Boys provides critical information that every parent should have. |
