When Men Need Healing

(Small Pleasures: Mya's Story, a novel - Kindle Version is FREE today (6/16/12): 


Sterling Addison, M.D.:
“Women don’t need my help. Some women play the victim when it offers opportunities and I don’t make time for such games. On the other hand, there are a multitude of options and assistance for women. Not so for men. When a man hurts, he has no one to turn to. Even when men hurt other people, there only option, most often, is jail – punishment, instead of therapy. People expect men to regenerate mysteriously after experiencing trauma. The expectations for a man to “know better” are unfairly unrealistic; the double standard is never addressed. When a male, regardless of age, IS a victim, his symptoms and disease are never treated nor is he granted with opportunities . . .”
