		Absent Fathers, Lost Sons: The Search for Masculine Identity

An experience of the fragility of conventional images of masculinity is something many modern men share. Psychoanalyst Guy Corneau traces this experience to an even deeper feeling men have of their fathers' silence or absence-sometimes literal, but especially emotional and spiritual. Why is this feeling so profound in the lives of the postwar "baby boom" generation-men who are now approaching middle age? Because, he says, this generation marks a critical phase in the loss of the masculine initiation rituals that in the past ensured a boy's passage into manhood. In his engaging examination of the many different ways this missing link manifests in men's lives, Corneau shows that, for men today, regaining the essential "second birth" into manhood lies in gaining the ability to be a father to themselves-not only as a means of healing psychological pain, but as a necessary step in the process of becoming whole.

I would suggest any man who feels less than one should read this book. It probably expresses more than anything what a lot of us go through who do not have dads in our lives for one reason or another. A good read and lots to think about.

This book will be a tool for ALL AGES of Men. Brings awareness and will help in dating and relationships. Any MAN who's fathers had to work or were NOT around enough; MUST READ THIS BOOK.

Awesome book. Yes, it arrived on time and in good enough condition for the price.

No punches pulled, truth telling and striving for principled solutions and not bandaids. Hits the sweet spots of the subject.

Awesome book!
