REAL BOYS Rescuing Our Sons from the Myths of Boyhood

For twenty years clinical psychologist William Pollack has been researching the social/emotional life of boys. In this lengthy, poignant documentation he concludes that our boys are in trouble. Narrator John McDonough imparts this story with the intensity it warrants. With deep-voiced, fatherly expression he shares the consequences of the "boy code," which imposes social expectations that paralyze boys into concealing their true emotions. In a supportive tone, a myriad of suggestions for parents of sons or anyone who interacts with boys is imparted to the listener. B.J.L. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 00]
