In "Raising Cain,"[BDD Audio] Kindlon and Thompson share what they have learned in over thirty-five years of combined experience working with boys and their families. Statistics point to an alarming number of boys at high risk for suicide, alcohol and drug abuse, violence, and loneliness. Cutting through outdated theories of "mother blame," "boy biology," and "testosterone," Kindlon and Thompson shed light on the destructive emotional training our boys receive.
