The corporate yes man the wife-beater the hot-shot male junior executive and the emotionally
distant father are all boys pretending to be men observe the authors of this liberating guide
to self-transformation. Writing within a Jungian framework they perceive symptoms of Boycaps
per book psychology all around us--in men's abusive behaviors passivity and inability to act
creatively. To help males become more nurturing and mature Moore and Gillette identify four
archetypes of masculine energies from myth and literature: the Lover brimming with vitality
and sensitivity the Magician guider of the processes of inner and outer transformation the
selfless and wise King identified with Adam or primordial man and the Warrior whose energies
often go awry in destructive activity. Dream analysis meditation Jungian active imagination
and ritual processes are among the tools set forth in a clear concise map to territories of
masculine selfhood. Moore is a professor of psychology and religion at Chicago's Theological
Seminary Gillette is cofounder of the Chicago-based Institute for World Spirituality.
