Description

Problems that we think of as typically male-- difficulty with intimacy, workaholism, alcoholism, abusive behavior, and rage-are really attempts to escape depression.

Real reveals how men can unearth their pain, heal themselves, restore relationships, and break the legacy of abuse. He mixes penetrating analysis with compelling tales of his patients and even his own experiences with depression as the son of a violent, depressed father and the father of two young sons.
