{"product_id":"silent-sons-a-book-for-and-about-men","title":"Silent Sons: A Book for and About Men","description":"It could be you or someone you love. Strong, silent types are everywhere, and it is their telltale silence that has kept their problems hidden until now. A silent son can come from a family that coped with violence, alcoholism, child abuse, extreme rigidity, or divorce, but all silent sons have certain common characteristics:\nThey keep things that bother them to themselves.\nThey deny that unpleasant events occur.\nThey fear letting people know them.\nThey have difficulty interacting with their parents, spouses, or children.\nThey have a strong fear of criticism.\nThey are often angry.\nIn Silent Sons, Dr. Robert Ackerman, a silent son himself, examines the problems that commonly confront silent sons, keeping them from experiencing the full range of human emotions. In a compassionate and hopeful voice, the author defines the silent son and examines the impact of parents, particularly fathers, on these men and shows how their dysfunctional upbringing affects their present relationships, especially with women.\nBy putting aside anger, finding peace with one's self, and looking for support from other silent sons, Dr. Ackerman feels every man can realize his full potential and become a well balanced, healthy survivor.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 067189286X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UE340021XU_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ackerman, Robert\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
