The authors of this book have taken a major step in articulating an analytically informed appreciation of men and their development that is neither apologetic nor ennobling....This well written, scholarly, and easily read book is teeming with ideas, often pithy and wise....[Provides] profound insight into the inner workings of men who are understood on their own terms, neither as pale reflections of, nor the `superior' sex to, women. The authors' elegant analysis of both the defensive and adaptive aspects of men's unique developmental pathways will help analytic clinicians to gain a richer appreciation for the nature of each male's internal struggles, victories, and losses in a never-ending search for the elusive sense of his manhood.
