Mothers & Sons
An Academic Exploration of How Moms Impact Their Son's Social & Emotional Development
Boys turn into men, and it's not an easy or a simple process. Mostly because of what is known as "Normative Developmental Trauma." You will be surprised by what you learn how nature and nurture come together to impact men in very different ways than they do women. And you'll learn about a phenomenon known as "Male Relational Dread."
This academic exploration of the mother-child relationship gives particular attention to its specific impact on male children and their emotional development. The issue of nature and nurture is addressed, as is the complex topic of boys and vulnerable emotions, with particular emphasis on guilt, humiliation, and shame; anxiety and depression; and anger and rage.
