The Disappearing Male by Joan Lachkar, PhD, provides psychoanalytic/psychodynamic descriptions of eight different kinds of men who “disappear” from relationships seemingly without warning or explanation. This book can help to assist the women affected in recognizing the danger signs to prevent them from faltering in their relationship efforts. This book is significant to the awareness and self-esteem of women in relationships, the dating world, and to the therapists that treat them.
