(An exploration of the challenged state of masculinity in ...)
An exploration of the challenged state of masculinity in our post-feminist society of gender equality. As we reach the millennium, there is hardly anything to be done that cannot be done by women - where does this leave men? Have men been pushed out of parenting - even of procreation? The brute strength of the male is no longer necessary to mine coal or build ships - or even make war. Men don't have to "provide" for their families, as more women harness their intelligence and generate their own incomes. Is it surprising that male suicides outnumber female by a factor of 3 or 4 to 1, or that the predilection of males to be violent - once seen as a source of pride - now seems to threaten our very culture and civilisation? Is what Clare calls the "phallic man" - assertive, authoritative, dominant, in control not only of himself but of women - dying out? As a practising psychiatrist, Anthony Clare brings a knowledge of science and medicine plus a deep understanding of the human heart and mind to this lively, readable, fair-handed and above all sympathetic examination of the male in today's society.

hospital administrator psychiatry educator
Clare, Anthony Ward was born on December 24, 1942 in Dublin, Ireland. Son of Bernard Joseph Clare and Mary Agnes Dunne.
In 1966, he graduated from University College, Dublin (University College Dublin) where he was an auditor of the Literary and Historical Society. Following initial training in psychiatry at Street Patrick"s Hospital, Dublin, he moved to the Institute of Psychiatry at The Maudsley Hospital (now part of King"s College London), in London where he studied under Professor Michael Shepherd.
Clare held a doctorate in medicine and a master"s degree in philosophy, and was a fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Author of several popular books on psychiatry, Clare held the positions of Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Trinity College, Dublin and Medical Director of Saint Patrick"s Hospital, Dublin. He was due to retire from his current post as Consultant General Adult Psychiatrist at Saint Edmundsbury Hospital in Lucan, County Dublin when he died suddenly of a heart attack in Paris at the age of 64.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Clare was the best-known psychiatrist in Britain.
His first media appearances were on the light-hearted British Broadcasting Corporation Radio 4 current affairs programme Stop the Week. He was also for many years the voice of the British Broadcasting Corporation popular science programme quod erat demonstrandum. As a young man Clare lost his Catholic faith and later explained why in a newspaper interview.
I can"t really believe in a God that can suddenly and haphazardly intervene during one moment of history, causing air crashes, genocide and famine. Clare married Jane Hogan in 1966 and they had seven children together.
