This review is from: Five Keys for Understanding Men, A Woman's Guide (Paperback)

Twenty-eight percent of all women murdered in this country are slain by their intimate male partners. Every twelve seconds a woman is beaten, raped or maimed by a man in this country today.

Five Keys For Understanding Men exposes the deepest drives and most pervasive needs that lay at the core of the male psyche. Dr. Gary Malone and Susan Mary Malone collaborate to reveal the five needs driving the lives of all men, and that by knowing what these are, women can understand their men, who they are, how to predict their responses and actions in any given circumstance.

Complete with case studies, checklists, as well as questions and answers, Five Keys For Understanding Men will enable women readers to separate the healthy traits of their men from the unhealthy, borderline, and dangerous ones. This is "must" reading for any mother of sons, as well as the wife, sister, daughter, friend or co-worker of a man. --Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars An easy read that clarifies men's motivations and fears., September 17, 1999

Five Keys for Understanding Men, has helped me to look at men differently. The light is now on as to what drives men's psyche. Although some of the information is somewhat shocking, I'm glad to be more enlightened about what makes men tick.

I think I'll be more compassionate towards men's basic needs as a result of this read. However, don't get too excited guys I've still got my standards.
