Synopsis
After years of socialization that mandates fierce independence, invulnerability and strength, many men fall into what psychotherapist Robert Pasick calls a "deep sleep". This book offers men a guide to change - drawing from the author's experience of counter-selling midlife men, the author explores the issues of work, anger, grief, women, sexuality, fatherhood and addiction. He emphasizes a new definition of manhood that builds upon the strengths men already have and leads then towards a new discovery of how to take care of themselves and others. By the co-author of "Men in Therapy".

From the Back Cover
Drawing from his years of counseling men, Robert Pasick explores issues of work, anger, grief, women, sexuality, fatherhood, and addiction. Using the stories of men who come together in a men's group, he examines the process that eventually leads to the 'deep sleep.'
Symptoms of the 'Deep Sleep' are :
· An Unbalanced Life
· Social Isolation
· Mistrust of Emotions
· Confusion About Intimacy/Dependency on Women
· Not Taking Care of Oneself
Pasick provides a new definition of manhood that can lead men toward an important discovery of how to take better care of themselves, others, and their world. This is an invaluable book for men who long to better understand themselves and their relationships, and for women who wish to better understand men.
Robert S. Pasick, Ph.D., is coauthor of 'Men in Therapy'. He is a psychologist, family therapist, and consultant at The Ann Arbor Center for the Family in Michigan. A graduate of Harvard University, he conducts workshops on gender issues in the workplace.
