"I'm not usually one for self-help books, but this one hits the nail on the head. We put all this pressure on guys to be Big Strong Manly Men, and that backs them into a corner, depression-wise. The author peels away the layers of societal expectations and gets to the heart of what's really going on with guys. Read this if you know someone going through a mid-life crisis. Or if YOU're going through a mid-life crisis. At first, you'll feel really Alan-Alda-ey, but after a while, you'll have to admit he's right on the money. Really helpful."
Kirkus, 11/15/1996 "An absorbing and informative look at the hidden long-term depression that constricts or undermines the relationships of many American men....important and rewarding..."
Publishers Weekly, 11/04/1996 "...wise beyond its stated scope: in setting up a model for the nature, etiology and treatment of male depression, Real ends up offering--with some gender variants--an almost universal paradigm."
New York Times Book Review, 02/16/1997 "Mr. Real has the eye and ear of a novelist. He shows us the men he treats...and also his interactions with them, putting his own feelings as well as theirs on the line....This is a hopeful and important book because it shows a way out of depression for men that carries with it a potential for ending a legacy of violence." -- Carol Gilligan
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 04/13/1997 "Real writes exceptionally well, with a revelatory self-scrutiny and an analytic compassion for his patients....In bringing the reader into the emotions of himself and his patients, as well as providing a solid analysis of them, Real does his readers the same service he so obviously performs for his patients." -- Michael S. Kimmel
Boston Globe "An important book about men and depression that is uplifting....Men will recognize the other men found here: laconic bullet-biters, 'rage-aholics,' emotional runaways, and badly fathered sons turned into disconnected dads who spill their emotional truths onto the page."
Connie Zweig "A tour-de-force, this landmark book uncovers a hidden epidemic with devastating effects. In an elegant novelistic style, Terrence Real traces the shadow of male depression from father to son. And in a bold, courageous way, he tells his own story of trauma and recovery, which shines like a golden thread throughout the book."
Robert Bly "This is a sobering and powerful book about male depression both 'covert' and 'overt.' The book moves on to new ground both in language and story. 'I Don't Want to Talk About It' is exhilarating in its honesty and grief; it moves forward like a hurricane."
