Boyhoods by Ken Corbett
Uses case studies to defy stereotypes, depicting masculinity as various and complex. This title examines the roles that parental and cultural anxiety play in development, and argues for a more nuanced approach to cross-gendered fantasy and experience, one that does not mistake social consensus for wellbeing.
"'This praise-worthy challenge to still-persistent myths of masculinity is an absorbing read that pushes psychoanalysis into the 21st century' (Publishers Weekly) 'In this impressive and ground-breaking book, Ken Corbett suggests new ways of theorizing about the meaning of masculine embodiments. In addition, through his stories of boyhoods and his personal reflections on the masculine energies encountered in his work with boys, Corbett brings us to the flesh experiences of developing masculinity.' (Susan McKenzie, Jung Journal: Culture and Psyche)"
