The Four Wounds of Men

Available on Amazon:

Most men don’t feel like men at all. Secretly,

we feel like boys.

.

Drawing on more than thirty years of work

as a psychotherapist, Steve Hauptman explores

four emotional wounds that shape men’s lives:

the loss of connection with the feminine,

the loss of fathers and male community,

the suppression of emotional life, and the

sacrifice of personal freedom to conventional

ideas of manhood.

.

These wounds affect not only men. They shape

our relationships with women, our relationships

with other men, how we parent our children,

and the ways we understand ourselves.

.

Illustrated with a series of haunting original images,

The Four Wounds of Men is a brief, personal essay

about how men are wounded, how those wounds

are passed on—and what it might mean to

begin healing them.

.

This is not a program for becoming

a better man.

It is an invitation to understand the men

we already are.
