For decades, mothers were thought to be the only real influence on
a child. Now we recognize that the father's involvement also has a
profound impact, but how sons affect their fathers is too-often
overlooked. In "My Father Before Me" psychoanalyst Michael J.
Diamond firmly establishes fatherhood as an essential event for
both the son's and the father's development. With chapters
analyzing the father/son relationship throughout the life cycle,
and demonstrating the powerful influence between them, Diamond
calls for a more inclusive notion of masculinity, thus allowing men
to access parts of themselves they previously ignored. He argues
that sons are largely responsible for helping their fathers embrace
this more flexible notion of manhood, making them better partners
and better parents. Diamond has written an important book that
enables us to make sense of the question: what does it truly mean
to be a man.
