Biography
Chris Blazina, David S. Shen-Miller
"With this critically timely and important collection of essays, [the editors] open a fresh perspective on the deep psychological experience of being male. The field of male studies is enriched by these contributions whose authors take seriously how much needs to be done to appreciate what is really going on in the lives of boys and men." - Miles Groth, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Wagner College; Chair of the Board of Trustees, The Foundation for Male Studies
"This is a vitally important and major contribution to a field still in its infancy: the international psychology of men. The writers, an impressive group of scholars of varying ethnicities and national origins, have been willing to ask the tough questions, answer those which they are able, and challenge scholars and clinicians to take on the others as the field matures." Chris Kilmartin, PhD, Professor of Psychology, University of Mary Washington
