Silent Sons: A Book for and About Men - Softcover

"A man's manual, a handbook on masculine health, sanity, and soul. A must-read book for men and the women who love us."
--John Lee, author of At My Father's Wedding

"Finally, a book to help men and the women who want to understand them."
-Suzanne Somers, Author of Keeping Secrets and Wednesday's Children

"Ackerman offers advice on how to communicate better and grow emotionally. Not just another "men's movement" book, this is a notable addition to the literature on male psychology."
-Publishers Weekly

"It's a book of hope, a hand-holding guide for all those men who survived their dysfunctional upbringing, but not without wounds and lingering pain."
--Margo Harakas, Sun-Sentinel

A guide for men from dysfunctional families reveals the real masculine types, including the Triangulator, who never deals with anything directly; the Detacher, who thinks his childhood doesn't bother him; and the Passive Son, who treats life like a sport. Original. 25,000 first printing.
