Healing the Gender Wars

For most men, the transition into the new world of women's equal rights has not been easy. In the modern family, women expect to be genuine partners. They feel emboldened to express desires and expect satisfaction of emotional and sexual needs. Many men feel conflicted about sharing responsibilities with women, and may be frightened by women's assertiveness and more open sexuality. Some men even feel like wimps if they follow - rather than ignite - their partner's desires. A kind of gender war often develops in which neither partner feels heard or satisfied. With many compelling examples and the lens of contemporary object relations theory, Dr. Samuel Slipp shows readers how individual and couples therapy can lead to happier lives for men and the women thay love. --- from book's bakc cover
