A question which has confused men for millenia, and which many
women cannot answer satisfactorily either. This sophisticated
analysis shows how many troubles between men and women are based on
problems dealing with dependency needs, stemming back to the way
little girls and boys are brought up. The authors are two renowned
feminist psychotherapists who challenge conventional thinking of
women as the dependent sex, claiming that men's dependency needs
are less obvious because they are more usually met, but still
contribute to difficulties in establishing intimacy. A
ground-breaking new assessment of the state of modern
relationships. (Kirkus UK)
'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.
