Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
While Harvard Medical School faculty member Levant (Between Father and Child) covers a lot of familiar territory in this examination of American manhood, which he considers to be in crisis, he adds significant new insights as well. The principal reason he cites for many men's failure to establish good relationships, especially with women, lies in their lack of emotional empathy: they tend to act rather than feel. And the socialization that has caused them to repress much emotion results in their expressing feelings in one of the few outlets available to them, anger. But "traditional man" has many valuable qualities that should not be disparaged, he notes in this study written with freelancer Kopecky. In his own clinical work, Levant has evolved a therapy for men who feel emotionally stunted and reports that he has had considerable success with those who wanted to effect a change. His clearheaded approach could prove helpful for men ready to reconstruct.

From Library Journal
Like the spate of men's psychology books published last year, this book challenges emotionally disconnected male readers to get in touch with their feelings. Clinical psychologist Levant presents much paraphrased dialog with his clients-average guys who want to stop acting like jerks when they are with their wives or girlfriends. In hopes of reaching these people outside the masculinity cults, the author does not suggest running around in the woods and beating drums a la Robert Bly. But his advice is simply not all that different from that found in Marvin Allen's In the Company of Men (LJ 5/1/93), William Betcher's In a Time of Fallen Heroes (Atheneum, 1993), or Kathleen Gerson's No Man's Land (Basic Bks, 1993). Only libraries where those books are circulating well need consider this addition to their collections.
