出版社周刊评论
Carrying forward some of the themes first introduced in his book The Wonder of Boys (1996), Gurian focuses on male adolescence, a crucial stage of development that, he argues, is in crisis today, being both misunderstood and diminished in importance. Drawing on his own research and experience as a psychotherapist, he lays out a picture of male adolescence that is often bleak: adolescent males are four times as likely as females to commit suicide; only one out of six adolescents diagnosed with ADHD is female, and that 90% of adolescent discipline problems in schools are about males. The thrust of his approach, however, is proactive and ultimately imbued with hope. Gurian emphasizes the importance of family in the three distinct stages (transformation, determination and consolidation) of male adolescent development, which can begin as early as nine and extends through the early 20s. In the nurture/nature debate, Gurian falls somewhere in the middle, explaining and validating the importance of both male "hardwiring" (the genetic component) as well as emotional and cultural "softwiring." With persuasive eloquence, Gurian outlines thoughtful and practical steps parents and other caregivers can take to create the kind of positive role-models and nurturing support systems that will help boys successfully negotiate the passage to manhood.

《书目》(Booklist)书评
From juvenile crime and drug use to learning problems and mental disorders, boys far outrepresent girls. Why? Gurian thinks it's because we've neglected the emotional needs of boys. Thanks to testosterone, boys are "wired" for aggression, but this behavior tends to push people away, lessening chances for emotional connections. Arguing that many boys also have low self-esteem, Gurian offers dozens of sensible ways for adults to nurture boys. For instance, Gurian suggests that boys need a "clan," a group of five or more boys; a clan offers emotional support, plus important opportunities for boys to test themselves. He also discusses when it's time to explain the reasons for ethical behavior, the discipline tactics to foster responsibility, and the expectations parents and teachers should have for boys and their psyches during different stages of their lives. Reasonable and balanced, this should be a fine addition to parenting collections. --Brian McCombie
《图书馆杂志》(Library Journal )书评
Beausay and Gurian are both clinical psychotherapists, previously published authors, and the fathers of boys. In their new works, they focus on the development of adolescent boys, sharing a concern for boys' complete growthphysical, spiritual, emotional, and religiousto adulthood. The books have different tones, however, and are directed at different audiences. Beausay addresses the parents of teenagers, assuring them that they will survive. Teenage Boys! is very upbeat with a flexible, not prescriptive, approach; suggestions are practical ideas for parents to try. Gurian's book is less a parenting book, although it will interest parents of adolescent boys, and more a work on adolescent male psychology. A Fine Young Man draws from biology, psychology, and sociology to paint a detailed picture of the tasks an adolescent boy needs to undertake to become a mature adult. Although the volume is somewhat scholarly in tone, no detailed bibliography is provided. Gurian helps his readers understand the teenager in depth, but his ideas are sometimes subject to challenge. Teenage Boys! is highly recommended for all parenting collections. A Fine Young Man is recommended for collections in adolescent psychology and larger parenting collections.Kay L.
