Love-shyness is a degree of social inhibition and timidity
regarding the opposite sex that it is so severe it prevents
participation in courtship, marriage, and family roles. It is
estimated that 1.7 million American males suffer from love-shyness.
These virginal, heterosexual men desire an intimate, committed
relationship with a woman, but their acute timidity in informal
social situations prevents them from asserting themselves. The Shy
Man Syndrome is the first book aimed at a general audience to
address this problem and offer ways to overcome it. Dr. Brian
Gilmartin uses landmark text, Shyness and Love, as a basis for this
work. For it, more than 300 chronically-shy, virginal men, between
the ages of 19 and 50, were interviewed and tested. A second group,
consisting of 200 non-shy men, was also studied. The Shy Man
Syndrome contains the findings of this research, as well as
therapeutic and preventative approaches for dealing with this
debilitating affliction. We learn about the past family life of the
love-shy mean; their school life during formative years; sexual
development; medical symptoms; and psychological traits. We then
witness treatments such as practice-dating therapy; psychodrama;
role playing; visualization; and self-image therapy. The results of
the study are presented in an absorbing manner that makes for
fascinating, illuminating, and instructive reading.
