„I’m broken.” When a boy or man says this, he is expressing deep alienation from himself and the world.
We are recommending a new book by Robert Tyminski, a Jungian analyst and psychotherapist.
In this book the author is looking at the male psyche in all stages of development. He is exploring the reasons for internal suffering of contemporary men and ways of engaging them in a healing relationship.
As we can read in the publisher’s note: „The book examines compulsive internet use, flawed concepts of masculinity, difficulties with mutually intimate relationships, trouble showing emotions, and identity issues, as well as the role of fathers, with a focus on the types of fathers that many boys and men describe as being difficult. Tyminski provides various practical ideas about working with boys and men to encourage them to be open to their inner worlds, and emphasizes a contrast between having meaningful contacts or having a merely transactional approach to relating.”.
