Reviving Ophelia
Real Boys
H enry H olt an d C o m p an y ; 1998
By W illiam P ollack, Ph.D .
B ased on W illiam P o lla c k ’s
g r o u n d b re a k in g r e s e a r c h at
Harvard M edical School for more
than two decades, Rea! Boys ex­
plores this generation’s “silent cri­
sis” : why so m any boys are sad,
lonely, and confused although they
may appear tough, cheerful, and
confident. Pollack challenges con­
ventional expectations about man-
hood and m asculinity that encour­
age parents to treat boys as little
men, raising them through a tough­
ening process that drives their true
em otions underground. Only when
w e understand w hat boys are really
experiencing, says Pollack, can par­
ents and teachers help them develop
m ore self-confidence and the em o­
tional savvy they need to deal with
issues such as depression and vio­
le n c e , d ru g s
an d a lc o h o l,
sexuality and
love.
