Psychoanalyst Guy Corneau traces this experience to an even deeper feeling men have of their fathers' silence or absence--sometimes literal, but especially emotional and spiritual. Why is this feeling so profound in the lives of the postwar \"baby boom\" generation--men who are now approaching middle age? Because, he says, this generation marks a critical phase in the loss of the masculine initiation rituals that in the past ensured a boy's passage into manhood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In his engaging examination of the many different ways this missing link manifests in men's lives, Corneau shows that, for men today, regaining the essential \"second birth\" into manhood lies in gaining the ability to be a father to themselves--not only as a means of healing psychological pain, but as a necessary step in the process of becoming whole.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuy Corneau is a Jungian analyst trained at the C.
