     Men's Psychology Book Series

    Iron John: A Book about Men

      

            

    Welcome to the Men's Psychology Book Group Series.


    Join us as we dive deep into masculine psychology

    in our Men's Psychology Book Group Series. 


    We will be meeting to discuss books related to masculine psychology with the intention to address and better conceptualize men's issues in our culture today.  This group will take place online and be limited to 20 participants plus the two hosts.  For the next book we will meet three times.  The book is very intense, therefore in the first meeting we will discuss the first 3 chapters.


    The meeting will take place on Monday evening,

                                            March 25th, 7:15 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. . .


    The next book is:  "Iron John" - written by: Robert Bly


                                   Iron John: A Book about Men

    In this timeless and deeply learned classic, poet and translator Robert Bly offers nothing less than a new vision of what it means to be a man.

    Bly's vision is based on his ongoing work with men, as well as on reflections on his own life. He addresses the devastating effects of remote fathers and mourns the disappearance of male initiation rites in our culture. Finding rich meaning in ancient stories and legends, Bly uses the Grimm fairy tale "Iron John"-in which a mentor or "Wild Man" guides a young man through eight stages of male growth-to remind us of ways of knowing long forgotten, images of deep and vigorous masculinity centered in feeling and protective of the young.

    At once down-to-earth and elevated, combining the grandeur of myth with the practical and often painful lessons of our own histories, 
    Iron John is an astonishing work that will continue to guide and inspire men-and women-for years to come.

    Get the book and find out the secret. . .

Important Note

  • Starting with the February monthly membership meeting SFV-CAMFT will be providing 1.5 CEs at each meeting.
