From Library Journal
Pittman (Man Enough, Putnam, 1993) is straightforward and witty in his guide to what it really takes to become a responsible adult. Effectively using his 37 years as a psychiatrist and family therapist, his 14 years as a movie critic, his six years as an advice columnist, and his personal experience to illustrate his points, he assures us that happiness can be found in taking responsibility for ourselves, our lives, and our loved ones. Pittman discusses the complexities of marriage, divorce, child-rearing, and forgiving your parents, arguing that changing gender roles and society's emphasis on narcissism and blaming others for our predicament keep us from moving from childhood to adulthood. Highly recommended for adult and young adult collections.ADemetria A. Harvin, Bronx, NY

Plus, he is one of those rare psychiatrists who likes mothers." --Mary Phipher, Ph.D, author of Reviving Ophelia

Frank Pittman is Jeremiah, Solzhenitsyn, and Bill Cosby rolled into one extraordinary writer with somethin to say that we need to hear." --Dr. William J. Doherty, director of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program and president-elect of the National Council on Family Relations
