Description
The Search for Masculine Identity In the post-war "baby boom" generation, a profound feeling of fragility in traditional images of masculinity is shared by many modern men. This sense of disconnection is rooted in an even deeper feeling of their fathers' silence or absence, often literal, but especially emotional and spiritual. Guy Corneau, a Jungian analyst, explores how this experience manifests in men's lives, tracing it to the loss of masculine initiation rituals that ensured a boy's passage into manhood. He argues that regaining the essential "second birth" into manhood lies in gaining the ability to be a father to themselves, a necessary step in the process of becoming whole. This book offers an engaging examination of the many different ways this missing link manifests in men's lives, shedding light on the psychological repercussions of 'fatherlessness' and the search for masculine identity.
