Help Me With My Teenager!
Christina Botto has published (October 2007) a book titled: "Help Me With My Teenager! A step-by-step Guide for Parents that Works". There is a description on Amazon.com along with a number of favorable reviews. Author Botto decided that the idea of parent-teenager conflict being inevitable was unacceptable, so she spent 14 years working with teens attempting to understand the mind of a teenager. The result was this book. Although directed toward parents, readers report that the focus is two fold: "the wellbeing of your teenager, and the wellbeing of your parent-teen relationship," � and that the book was extremely helpful to them.
A more detailed description can be found on her website.

Dear Patrick:
Life is Tough - Here's Some Good Advice
by Jeffrey M. Schwartz
This book is a dialogue between Patrick Buckley, a sixteen-year-old New York City high schooler who lost his father, and Jeffrey M. Schwartz, internationally renowned neuroscientist and family friend. Inspired by Patrick's straight forward questions about life, Schwartz examines the moral teachings of our greatest spiritual leaders -- Jesus, Buddha, and Moses -- and filters them through the lens of his cutting-edge psychiatric research, as well as his own experiences of childhood loneliness and loss. With fierce certainty and love, Schwartz provides Patrick with a blueprint for breaking free from the culture of corrosive cynicism that threatens to destroy him, and for constructing a decent, meaningful, and fulfilling life.

The Wonder of Boys:
by Michael Gurian In the thoughtful and provocative The Wonder of Boys: What Parents, Mentors, and Educators Can Do to Shape Boys into Exceptional Men, therapist and educator Michael Gurian takes a close look at modern boyhood. Gurian asserts that the biological and neurological differences between boys and girls need to be accounted for and nourished in order to raise healthy, happy boys. In discussing boy culture--and the roles of competition, aggression, and physical risk taking--the author concludes, "It's not boy culture that's inherently flawed; it's the way we manage it."

The Good Son:
Shaping the Moral Development of Our Boys and Young Men
by Michael Gurian
Focusing specifically on the subject of moral development, Gurian writes from his own experience as a family therapist. Citing an "increase in ethical numbness, moral distraction, and spiritual emptiness among boys and young men," he examines the roots of potential problems such as the abandonment of our children's moral development to "potentially toxic" visual media and then lays out a well-organized blueprint for ushering boys into adulthood. Gurian discusses such topics as biological and neurological development as well as building spiritual life and dealing with media influence.

Raising Cain:
Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys by Dan Kindlon and Michael Thompson
In much the same way that Reviving Ophelia offered new models for raising girls, therapists Kindlon and Thompson argue that boys desperately need a new standard of "emotional literacy," showing how our culture's dominant masculine stereotypes shortchange boys and lead them toward emotional isolation. The authors turn a spotlight on the inner lives of boys, debunking preconceptions about gender, explaining the importance of nurturing communication skills and empathy in boys as well as girls, and steering boys toward a manhood of emotional attachment, not stoicism and solitude.

Real Boys :
Rescuing Our Sons from the Myths of Boyhood
by William Pollack
Being a boy these days isn't all fun and games. As co-director of the Center for Men at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical Center, Pollack has seen behind the stoic masks of troubled, modern boys as they struggle to cope with the mixed messages, conflicting expectations, and increasingly complex demands they receive from our evolving society. "New research shows that boys are faring less well ... that many boys have remarkably fragile self-esteem, and that the rates of both depression and suicide in boys are frighteningly on the rise. Based on his observations, this author provides thoughts on contemporary child-rearing techniques, analysis of the root causes of many male behavior problems, and recommendations for avoiding all-too-common pitfalls.

Our Boys Speak:
Adolescent Boys Write About Their Inner Lives
by John Nikkah
Just eight years out of high school, clinical psychology graduate student Nikkah knew from personal experience the falsehood of the cliche that young boys who do not willingly talk about themselves have very little going on in their minds and their lives. So he contacted 5000 schools across the country, asking boys to write down their thoughts and experiences, in poems, stories or autobiographical essays. He presents the results of his search in thematic chapters: "Sharing a Room" deals with siblings; "School Ties" concerns peer pressure and cliques; "Song of Sorrow" addresses depression; and "Toy Soldiers" looks at school violence. This is not a how-to guide for raising adolescent boys, this is instead an extremely revealing look at the mind and matter of young men.

I Don't Want to Talk About It:
Overcoming the Secret Legacy of Male Depression by Terrence Real
Hidden male depression is the focus of this clear, compelling book by a Massachusetts family psychotherapist who specializes in working with dysfunctional men. Because our culture socializes boys to mask feelings of vulnerability, he says, they bury deep within themselves damaging childhood trauma and its ensuing depressive effects when they become men. This strongly reasoned study starts out with an illustration of the "toxic legacy" that is passed, often for generations, from father to son, with each chapter adding another piece to the complex face.

The Men They Will Become:
The Nature and Nurture of Male Character

The author uses examples that range from simple playground incidents to complex moral decisions for teens to provide guidance for parents facing similar situations on the home front. Not meant to be a quick-reference guide, the author focuses on open communication lines and leading by example.
