Healing the Male Psyche: Therapy as Initiation Book

Much of what was once taken for granted about gender roles has shifted, leaving a lack of desirable or achievable roles for men. John Rowan believes that the male psyche has been wounded by the new pressures of social uncertainty and needs to be healed. In Healing the Male Psyche, he explores the concept of masculinity using the work of Ken Wilber as a central guide and Jungian Alchemy as a framework within which to discuss the process of change. This change is personal to each man and involves aspects of the body, emotions, rational understanding and soul; however, because the required change is so major, a continuous process is needed to guide through the ups and downs, contradictions and paradoxes along the way.Addressed to men who are looking to understand their predicament as well as counsellors and psychotherapists, the book is packed with useful exercises and supported by wide range of references.Read More
