4.0 out of 5 stars
Mostly for therapists, December 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Healing the Male Psyche: Therapy as Initiation (Paperback)
I was looking for anecdotes of men in therapy. I had read Men's Dreams, Men's Healing by Robert Hopcke and was looking for more of the same. This book is NOT that. It reads more like a dissertation that has been turned into a book. There are references to other works at least once a paragraph. Once I got over the dry format, I actually got a lot out of this book. It's really a book for professionals in the field, but not hard to follow for layfolk. It's his theory in relation to other theories. If this is ok with you, go for it. If not, I'd suggest Iron John by Robert Bly(myth emphasized) or the Hopcke book(clients emphasized), a bit more juice. But this book is very good for what it is.
