“A crisis of masculinity is always a crisis of truth. It is a crisis of feminine virtues reduced to impotence... whether at the level of society or of the individual. A culture will never fall into decadence in the face of healthy and balanced masculinity. In the Western world, when a nation, or even an entire culture, regresses, it is primarily because the masculine is in decline. »
Leanne Payne
Years before the first books on the problems of sexual identity appeared, Leanne Payne had identified this deep suffering of modern man which she defines in this work as a crisis of masculinity. She had discerned a real tear in the hearts of our contemporaries: sons and daughters feel abandoned, ignored, because they have never been confirmed by their fathers in their identity as men and women. But how can fathers establish the identity of their children if they themselves have not been confirmed in theirs? The main strength of this book lies in the author's ability to point the way toward healing this wound and restoring personal identity, whether masculine or feminine.
In order to better respond to the confusion that reigns in certain religious circles, the author has added to this new edition a chapter by Doctor Jeffrey Satinover, psychiatrist and professor, entitled: “Are the true masculine and the true feminine what CG Jung calls animus and anima ”?
