The Classic Guide to Understanding the Opposite Sex

When troubled or depressed, women "go down into their wells, and men retreat
into their caves," the author claims in this abridged version of his best-
selling book. Gray uses such examples to demonstrate the common conflicts
between men and women. Topics include communication differences; emotional
needs and the different ways of expressing these needs; and forming and
maintaining relationships. This adaptation, read competently by Gray,
succinctly summarizes the text. Deborah Tannen's You Just Don't Understand:
Talk Between the Sexes (S. & S. Audio, 1991) offers a more in-depth look at
the different communication styles, although Gray's clinical experience is
evident in his text. Without any research references, however, the material
comes across as psychobabble. Recommended for public libraries where demand
warrants.
