Men Are Not From Mars
Self-Help Theories Can Do More Harm Than Good  By NANCY S. PARK
via The Harvard Crimson

Quick-fixes are nice. When you've got a headache this big, you know exactly what's written all over it: directions on how to pop a pill and say good-bye to the pain. When your stomach hurts, you expect to find relief faster than the time it takes to spell it. A child-proof cap is usually all that stands between us and physical well-being.

Unfortunately, Americans have started seeking out the same kind of miracle cures for emotional illnesses, particularly in relationships. Instead of soothing gel-caps, heartache medicines come in either hardcover or paperback. The popularity of self-help books on relationships and the mysteries of man-and womanhood has certainly served to entertain, but at the same time, it has also over-simplified and limited people's conceptions of love and gender.

Few of us would claim it is easy to be someone's partner in life. Even being in a relationship for a few months can be more than trying. In these situations, we naturally look for help in identifying the problems and figuring out solutions. But how can we expect to find all these answers in one often slim volume of pop-psychology?
