Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power, money, physical appearance - traditionally, masculinity has been measured by standard little related to the inner reaches of the soul. In [this book] Robert Hopcke frames masculine psychology within the innermost of realms: dreams. In sharing his dreamwork with two men - one homosexual, one heterosexual - over years of therapy, Hopcke spotlights several recurrent themes in the psychology of contemporary men, including a lack of feeling awareness, fear of intimacy, authority issues, and the experience of fatherhood. Drawing on the work of Jung as well as Greek myths and Christian symbolism, Hopcke uses the inner journeys of these two men to move the reader toward a new understanding of what it means to be male in modern times.
