Wounded Male by Steven Farmer M.A., M.F. THE WOUNDED MALE describes the sources and consequences of the many wounds men receive from society and family, including the "father wound" (how the physical or emotional absence of a father or a father-as-rigid-disciplinarian can profoundly affect a growing boy) and the "mother wound" (which is rooted in the extremes of too much mothering — engulfing — or too little mothering — abandoning). Farmer personalizes his analysis with examples from his own life and the lives of other men. He shows that healing the wounds of manhood is not a one-shot deal, but a long, slow journey of self-discovery. Whether you are just setting out on that journey or wish to travel farther and deeper, you will find THE WOUNDED MALE an indispensable companion.
Aspects of the Feminine by Carl Jung This collection offers a range of articles and extracts from Jung's writings on marriage, Eros, the mother, the maiden, and the anima/animus concept, which is a central feature in his theory of personality structure. In the absence of any single formal statement by Jung on the psychology of women, this work conveys his views on the feminine and on topics that are intrinsic or related.
We Fish: The Journey to Fatherhood by Jack L. Daniel & Omari C. Daniel Shows us that of all the bridges that boys must cross to manhood, there is none so sturdy as the love of family. This book is warm, soulful journey back to where so many successful black men came from, and a guide to where so many troubled young black men need to be." -- Bebe Moore Campbell
A must read. The Daniel men have given us a wise, sensitive - and at times hilarious - book about the nurturing and bonding of African American men.... Through trash talking, analyses of the social landscape, and the best poetry I've read in a long time, the book teaches us what it means to train up a black male child in these times." -- Geneva Smitherman
A remarkable achievement. A rare literary convention, with audacity and authenticity, between a father and son, this book is certain to become a classic." -- Molefi Kete Asante

Inward Bound:: Exploring the Geography of Your Emotions by Sam Keen In this book, Sam Keen guides us on an enlightening journey across the emotional landscape of our own inner psyches. Using self-tests and practical advice, Inward Bound teachers us to master the art of emotional literacy -- how to understand what our minds and bodies are really telling us through the ups and downs of our emotions.
Paying special attention to "negative" emotions such as fatigue, depression, grief, and especially boredom -- the undiagnosed disease from which most "normal" people suffer -- Keen shows us how the low periods in our lives can actually be the impetus for the most profound and lasting change. While most people deny emotional lows in the hopes that they will go away; eat, drink, or tranquilize themselves; take mood elevators; or otherwise fill their time with empty activities, Keen instead teachers us how to re-vision negative emotions as positive way stations on the path to self-discovery.
In Inward Bound, Keen shows us how to recover the full spectrum of our feelings and points the reader on a journey to greater health, intimacy, vitality, and a renewed joy in life.
