Part Deborah Tannen, part John Gray, part Nathaniel Branden, Dr. Alon Gratch's IF MEN COULD TALK acknowledges what women have known for centuries: men don't speak the same language as they do about emotional issues - if they speak at all. Using examples from his 15-year experience as a clinical psychologist, Alon Gratch presents men in their own language - and then in translation. He also offers prescriptive strategies and solutions for easing the effort involved in having important conversations, both for the speaker and for the listener. In addition to running his clinical practice, Dr Gratch has been on the faculty of Columbia University's Department of Clinical Psychology. He is a frequent lecturer and runs seminars n mental health agencies; he is also often called upon to provide psychological analysis for television and newspapers
