Men's Work Reading

Swallowed by a Snake: The Gift of the Masculine Side of Healing

2000
Grief & Loss

Licensed therapist and internationally recognized grief educator Thomas Golden explores how men grieve differently from women — using action, ritual, and creation rather than verbal processing — and why this is a strength, not a deficiency. Named the 1999 International Grief Educator by the Australian Centre for Grief Education. Draws on cross-cultural research, folklore, and 30 years of clinical work to validate masculine modes of healing. A foundational text in men's bereavement work and widely used by therapists working with grieving men.
