Book Description
The Pregnant Guy is a humorous look at pregnancy from a male perspective. It aims to provide a road-map to childbirth for the half of the population that has trouble asking for directions. Every expectant dad departs on a nine-month mystery tour to somewhere he has never been, probably never planned to go, and from where he cannot ever return: Parenthood. And men are never ready. Most of us are still too happy behaving like a child to consider actually having a baby. But as long as it involves sex, we're willing to give anything a try. Sure, it's the woman that gets pregnant, but it's the guy who has to live with a person whose hormones are permanently set one notch below rage and who has more mood swings than the Glenn Miller band. Now at least there's some help. A book about pregnancy and childbirth written for the guys, by a guy.

Book Description
This book is a most exciting and unusual study of cultural history. The idea of the pregnant man, redolent of bawdy jokes and sexual fantasy, has inspired European literature and folklore since ancient times. Traces of the theme, both comical and disturbing, are found not only in the wealth of tales from Italy, France, Germany, Russia, Finland and other European Countries, but also in the Hebrew and Islamic traditions.

Book Description
A student bound for a prestigious writing program is suddenly and inexplicably incapable of reading a single word. A staid society matron, looking to overcome her anxiety about flying, reveals a daredevil past. A young woman trying to come to terms with her sister's suicide is hampered by a poltergeist's mischievous interventions. A man who sets out to end an addiction to nicotine instead develops a false pregnancy. Can hypnotherapy heal a troubled mind? Why is it so compelling and controversial? In The Pregnant Man: And Other Cases from a Hypnotherapist's Couch, Dr. Deirdre Barrett describes how she has used the fascinating discipline known as hypnotherapy to treat these patients and many others. Tracing the voyage of seven patients through her practice, she demonstrates how hypnosis can accelerate and magnify the benefits of psychotherapy--and occasionally its dangers. Several of Dr. Barrett's patients evince disquieting symptoms--hallucinations, multiple personalities, and more--that hypnotic explorations reveal as variations on the universal themes of love, bereavement, envy, and shame. Other patients bring to her couch more mundane complaints--a desire to quit smoking, fear of flying--and in the course of their therapy uncover surprising dramas behind them. The Pregnant Man follows Dr. Barrett's personal evolution as a hypnotherapist, even as it illuminates the art and science of a branch of psychotherapy all too often misunderstood by the general public. She explains how hypnotherapy can offer a deeper window into the workings of the mind and offers expert guidance on deciding whether hypnotherapy is right for you. "From the Trade Paperback edition.

Book Description
"An important contribution to the fields of feminist jurisprudence and feminist theory."Â -- Mary Anne Bobinski, University of Houston Law Center Pregnant Men shows how to implement anti-essentialist and equality perspectives in teaching, writing, and the practice of law. Because there are no "pregnant men," equality theory is difficult to formulate in a reproductive health context. Instead, Colker examines cases involving men who are similarly situated to pregnant women -- and shows that pregnant women are, in fact, treated far worse than "almost-pregnant" men. The individual stories she tells are themselves fascinating, and they demonstrate Colker's model of a more practical feminist theory.
