Summary: Traditional values still exist in many men.
Comment: Men who have absorbed traditional male values through the socialization process are both hindered and helped by their value systems. Although much about the traditional male value system is positive and therefore should be preserved, some of the rules many men were taught to live by prevent them from being able to benefit from psychotherapy as it is usually practiced. Dr. Brooks offers a therapeutic model that is sensitive to the effects of traditional male socialization and uses respect and empathy to facilitate psychotherapy with the large segment of the male population who still hold very traditional values. This book is a valuable addition to the library of psychotherapists who work with men from all walks of life.

Rating: 3
Summary: An apology for the traditional values of men.
Comment: Mr Brooks has writen a book looking at the supposed short comings of men from a traditional background. It holds strongly to feminist theory and therefore only allows an apology for the stance that, so called, traditional men hold. This book will date quickly in the light of more current masculist theory as Mr Brooks draws heavily from the usual lists of feminist writers. The title does not give a good indication of what may be expected in the book. Three stars because it may actually start a debate on what men need in psychotherapy.
