About this title

From AudioFile:

Silverstein thoughtfully and humorously observes the mother-son relationship in contemporary society and the social pressures that often prevent boys from becoming the type of men who have overcome gender stereotyping. In the present blitz of conflicting publications she makes excellent sense. Her calm voice presents many valuable lessons from both her clinical practice and personal life in a soothing and understandable way. This is something a book cannot accomplish, yet having listened to this remarkable audio one will be drawn to the book for further information. E.E.L. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
