4.0 out of 5 stars In a culture with Son worship, the males never grow up, December 19, 1998
By A Customer
"In a culture with Son worship, the males never grow up and the Feminine is denigrated." (Margaret Starbird, The Woman with the Alabaster Jar) It doesn't matter that the book may be "unscientific." Just test the hypothesis against any of the immature 40-year old males that you know and you'll see that most of what the author says fits! Life provides the necessary scientific evidence! This book is a must-read for any woman who has had to deal with an immature male at the head of an institution. It will help you understand that you, as woman, are not the problem--the immature male is. However, the book can help you to discern where you are enabling the male's immaturity and dismissing it as "boys will be boys!" It's through women's awareness of this issue, and our willingness to no longer support the behavior, that these males will eventually grow. As long as they have admiring females around them worshipping their immaturity, they will always be Peter Pans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Written for Patients, October 12, 2001
By A Customer
Of all I've read on Narcicism and relationships, this book is the best I've found. Most of the literature that I've seen is tailored for professionals, but this is written specifically for patients, their families and their partners. Kiley uses developmental specifics and case studies to create a usable image for those trying to understand narcicism and how it manifests itself in adolescents and adults. I highly reccomend it to anyone with an interest in this area.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read book for every woman, June 12, 1999
By A Customer
I am able to say that because I myself experienced married to a man that fits 90 % of what Dr. Dan Kiley described in his book. When I got divorced from my husband, I was very shocked and could not believe of what had happened to me. I visited andrologist, priest, psychologist, psychiatrist just trying to understand `why' and `how' till I found a book called `Peter Pan Syndrome'. I bought the book because the title attracted my attention. When I read it, I was surprised that every detail Dr. Kiley described helped me understand how could that unbelievable experience happened without me being aware to any of it. It is probably difficult for anybody who has never experienced it to understand but for me it does help me quite a lot. Thank to Dr. Kiley for his marvellous work.
