Why do men keep self-destructing with sex?
Familiar headlines highlight the scandals of men with wealth, fame and power. A parade that never ends. Athletes, respected professionals and business magnates risk their reputations and relationships. Ultimately, wealth, fame and power offer no protection. But this is not confined to the headlines. In ordinary, everyday life, the same patterns damage relationships and leave those closest to the men involved puzzled about why.
So what lies behind this behaviour? How do men justify crossing boundaries, even when they have so much to lose?
In The Crazy Penis, retired clinical psychologist and research professor Dr Bruce A Stevens reflects on decades of clinical experience to explore these questions. He examines biological and social perspectives, disordered thinking, myths about the self and the stages of boundary violation.
Psychological maps, self-reflective exercises and clearly presented theoretical perspectives guide you on a journey of understanding yourself and others. Whether you are puzzled by the public scandals, worried about someone close to you or reflecting on your own behaviour, this book offers insights into destructive patterns and the warning signs that can be overlooked.
