Abstract:
For many Jewish clients, these conflicts around masculinity and femininity are often just below the surface. They affect individual self-esteem and dramatically interfere with parenting and marital relationships. During this period of profound social change in male-female relationships, we are more vulnerable, as Jews, to current stresses to whatever extent, subtle or overt, we view ourselves as less than ideal men and women.
