Thursday, July 2nd...David B. Wexler author of When Good Men Behave Badly
Let's start with what it's not. When Good Men Behave Badly is not an apologia for men who act like jerks to their wives and girlfriends; nor is it a "boys will boys" dismissal of men's missteps in relationships; it does not explain-away or trivialize the trouble so many men have with expressing emotion and developing intimacy. What it is, is a one-of-a-kind book that addresses the biological, social, and psychological causes for those behaviors that so often undermine a man's ability to build a solid, loving relationship. These are the behaviors that are familiar to so many of us, yet understood by so few of us: becoming sarcastic or verbally explosive in the face of difficult emotions; engaging in self-destructive habits; withdrawing or slipping into escapism when the emotional terrain gets rocky; and hypersensitivity to any perceived slight against their "manhood."
David B. Wexler, Ph.D., specializes in treating couples whose relationships are faltering, and he frequently sees these behaviors at work. Throughout his book he provides examples of them from the clients he's counseled and uses the stories of fictional characters, created by popular writers like Russell Banks and Pat Conroy, to illustrate how they can blight a relationship. Wexler uses documented science to explore the sources of these behaviors and offers proven-effective strategies for changing them. Here's just some of what he has to say in When Good Men Behave
Badly.
