Publisher's Synopsis
All aspects of the culture we live in - films, myths and literature - persuade us that only a father can make a boy a man. This book challenges the prevailing wisdom of modern society regarding traditional male and female role models - that a close mother/son relationship is an obstacle to a boy's route to manhood - and suggests that transforming the mother/son relationship is the key to ending the division and the war between the sexes.;Through case histories and anecdotal accounts taken from personal life, it sets out to show that unless the premises of parenting are re-examined, the results are lonely men, bad marriages and midlife crises.
