MEN AND MENTAL HEALTH
In this quarterly edition of the ManKind Project Journal, we explore vital issues regarding men and mental health. The articles, essays, memoirs, videos, and poetry below discuss such diverse subjects as mental illness, stress reduction, post-traumatic stress in veterans, suicide, schizophrenia, body image, the psychoanalytic roots of The ManKind Project, and other topics. This initial batch of postings will be followed by more postings as submissions continue to arrive during the quarter.
Men living with heart
by Daniel Doty
A few months ago, I was talking to a close friend about my work with men and its implications for society. The conversation became heated, and she made the following assertion: “Masculinity is slippery.”
What she meant is that due to societal and historical implications, we now must tiptoe around the topic of masculinity. She meant that being a man has become too complex, too undefined, and too inseparable from a negative historical inflection.
Welcome to the Journal
Welcome to the home of The Mankind Project Journal. We hope you become a regular reader in the years ahead.
