Summary

An experience of the fragility of conventional images of masculinity is something many modern men share. Psychoanalyst Guy Corneau traces this experience to an even deeper feeling men have of their fathers' silence or absencesometimes literal, but especially emotional and spiritual. Why is this feeling so profound in the lives of the postwar "baby boom" generationmen who are now approaching middle age? Because, he says, this generation marks a critical phase in the loss of the masculine initiation rituals that in the past ensured a boy's passage into manhood. In his engaging examination of the many different ways this missing link manifests in men's lives, Corneau shows that, for men today, regaining the essential "second birth" into manhood lies in gaining the ability to be a father to themselvesnot only as a means of healing psychological pain, but as a necessary step in the process of becoming whole.
