The Peter Pan Syndrome: Men who Have Never Grown UpIrresponsibility, anxiety, loneliness, sex-role conflict, narcissism, and chauvinism--the "PPS victim" may suffer from all or just some of these. The causes? Tension between parents, the boy's resulting negative self-image, over-possessiveness, unclear parental rules, etc. The resulting behavior? The PPS sufferer--usually an oldest child--avoids responsibility, likes parties, adopts a "piratical" lifestyle, blames others for his sexual inadequacies, and becomes despondent after 30. After presenting his overview of the syndrome, Dr. Kiley offers ten guidelines for parents on how to prevent or remedy PPS. |
