Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The average man's transition into a new world of equal opportunity and rights for women has not been easy. In the modern family, women expect to be an equal partner. They feel justified in expressing desires and expecting satisfaction of sexual and emotional needs. Many men feel conflict about sharing responsibilities with their partners, and may be frightened by women's assertiveness and more open sexuality. They may feel like wimps if they respond to their partner's desires. A kind of gender war often develops, in which neither partner feels listened to or responded to. With many useful examples, and using modern object relations theory as a guide, Sam Slipp shows how individual and couples therapy can help heal these gender wars and lead to happier lives both for men and for the women they love.
