The Problem with Men: Insights on Overcoming a Traumatic Childhood from a World-Renowned Psychologist

Ronald F. Levant is past president of the American Psychological Association and professor emeritus at the University of Akron. In The Problem with Men: Insights on Overcoming a Traumatic Childhood from a World-Renowned Psychologist, Dr. Levant explores questions you may have asked yourself when working with male leaders who aren’t bringing out the best in their team: Why are some men so problematic, incapable of expressing how they feel or to understand or respond appropriately to the emotions of others? Why do they explode in rage or resort to violence when their manhood is questioned? How do societal expectations of men play into toxic behaviors? Dr. Levant offers interesting answers, based on his many years of developing a field of psychology devoted to men and masculinity and his own experiences being raised by an abusive father. He also offers insights into leaders such as President Biden, Trump, Putin, Netanyahu and more. If you see male leaders as a key part of the equation of building a better world and believe that healing is possible for those who lack qualities such as empathy, you’ll find The Problem with Men full of helpful insight.
