The Four Wounds of Men

Now 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.
