Overcoming Masculine Depression

Masculine depression is a vicious syndrome that breeds upon your fear of expectations to "be a man, don't cry, and don't be a wimp."  How many times have you had these "hard knocks" flung at you by others or even by yourself!  This unique book does not portray men as victims:  it describes a man's responsibility and proposes realistic strategies for change.

"Focuses on our most destructive social and mental health problem--masculine depression--which goes unrecognized and leads to the violence, abuse, and self-neglect that wreck so many lives.  This book could not be clearer or more compassionate.  IT IS RIGHT ON TARGET AND SORELY NEEDED." --Frank S. Pittman, III, MD, Author, Man Enough:  Fathers, Sons, and the Search for Masculinity and Grow Up!  How Taking Responsibility Can Make You a Happy Adult

"Lynch and Kilmartin addresses a central problem in the contemporary crisis of gender, namely the male tendency to experience depression as a disconnection from self and others.  The Pain Behind the Mask delineates the damaging effects of masculine depression... and POINTS THE WAY FOR MEN TO HEAL IN THE CONTEXT OF RELATIONSHIPS." --Ronald F. Levant, EdD,Co-Author, Masculinity Reconstructed; Dean, Department of Psychology, Nova Southeastern University
