Portion of title Crucial connection
SeriesCounseling and therapy in video, volume 1
Abstract Therapist Olga Silverstein discusses how mothers of male offspring can break a pattern wherein men, socially required to break away from their mothers, also dismiss the qualities associated with "mother" such as caring, nurturing, empathizing, worrying, and communicating. This results in unhappy, unfulfilled men and perpetuates a patriarchal system that shortchanges men and women alike. Mothers must have the courage to discard cultural conventions of how to raise sons and instead become "agents of their own values."
