Finding Our Fathers How A Man's Life Is Shaped By His Relationship With His Father

By Samuel Osherson, Ph.D.

Finding Our Fathers examines the hidden struggle faced by millions of men: how to reconcile their childhood images of their fathers - and of all men - as silent, stoic breadwinners - with the life they want to live now - embracing two-career marriages, closer ties with their children, and greater emotional awareness.

In this ground-breaking book, Harvard psychologist Samuel Osherson shows how a man's "unfinished business" with his father affects his relationships with his wife, children, friends, and boss--and how it can lead to a profound sense of loneliness, vulnerability, and rage.

Osherson's work penetrates the shroud of silence that prevents men from coming to terms with their deepest feelings and fears. He shows how every man can resolve the inner conflict of the father-son relationship and begin to develop a new sense of strength and purpose in his family life and career.

"Erudite...sensitive...There is a nice blend of family and work concerns in this book, which helps to make it one of the better contributions on male and female psychology thus far."THE BOSTON HERALD"
