DESCRIPTION:
"This is a clear and thought-provoking book, a synthesis of much recent literature on masculine identity that should appeal to a broad readership—women as well as men."—Jim Boothroyd, The Montreal Gazette
An experience of the fragility of conventional images of masculinity is something many modern men share. Why is this feeling so profound in the lives of the postwar "baby boom" generation—men who are now approaching middle age?

In his engaging examination of the many different ways this missing link manifests in men's lives, Corneau shows that, for men today, regaining the essential "second birth" into manhood lies in gaining the ability to be a father to themselves—not only as a means
He has given numerous lectures and workshops on masculine psychology. . Guy Corneau is a Jungian analyst trained at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich and co-founder of the Jung Circle of Montreal
