'This book highlights the fact that women are brought up to
understand men's emotional needs but men are not brought up to
understand women's.' Woman Many women today feel that they pour
love, commitment and understanding into their relationships, but
that it is not returned in kind. He seems secure and independent,
she feels insecure and clingy. The truth is that men and women are
both dependent. But his needs are catered to so well - first by his
mother, then by his girlfriend or wife - that he doesn't know he
has them, while her needs for closeness and tenderness are
constantly rebuffed as he retreats from intimacy. Susie Orbach and
Luise Eichenbaum set out to explore this crisis in the
relationships of men and women. They explain how men have learned
to 'manage' their dependency needs very differently to women, and
why women feel dependent and hungry for love. Finally they show why
dependency on both sides is the essential core of any successful
relationship.
