Jean Shinoda Bolen M.D. (Interview featured on A Man's World, November 22, 2005)

Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D., is a psychiatrist and Jungian analyst in private practice, and also a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California Medical Center. Her latest book is URGENT MESSAGE FROM MOTHER: Gather the Women, Save the World. Outspoken and controversial, Dr. Bolen will talk about how differently the genders respond to stressful situations, and why NOW is the time for women to lead and to fiercely protect all that they love.

As men, the ones who have been in charge of this world for so many centuries, it seems both practical and vital that we take a look at different ways as well as different leaders for this ever-more-global world of ours. Dr. Bolen will discuss

• The "fight or flight" reaction men so often use to explain their aggressive tendencies. On the other hand, biologically and psychologically, women have the "tend and be- friend" response instead-- a direct result of the maternal bonding hormone oxytocin.
• How women gathering together can actually alter and even save the world.
• The myriad ways man would also benefit from such a change in society.
• Other visionary thinking that will fascinate you and lead to a meaningful discussion on such things as whether men are just naturally aggressive, warlike and quick to anger; and what women do differently when it comes to handling stress, solving problems and avoiding conflict in bringing people together for corporation and progress.
• Finally, she will answer the question: Would we have so many skirmishes, battles and hotspots in the world, if women were the predominant, or equal, leaders?
