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.

Psychoanalysis: The forgotten grandparent of The ManKind Project

by Joe Jeral, MD

Psychoanalysis is the father of psychotherapy as we know it today. Every form of therapy, even an overtly non-therapeutic personal growth experience like MKP, owes its existence to Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis. In the nine years since my first MKP weekend in 2001, I’ve noticed that few people know about the forgotten psychoanalytic “grandparents” of MKP.

  You say that it looks impossible to become what we really are, to be authentic, to be ourselves again. But I will tell you that it is much more difficult to try to be what we are not. — Don Miguel Ruiz
