Strong, silent types are everywhere, and it is their telltale silence that has kept their problems hidden until now. A silent son can come from a family that coped with violence, alcoholism, child abuse, extreme rigidity, or divorce, but all silent sons have certain common characteristics: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThey keep things that bother them to themselves. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey deny that unpleasant events occur. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey fear letting people know them. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey have difficulty interacting with their parents, spouses, or children. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey have a strong fear of criticism. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThey are often angry. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eSilent Sons,\u003c\/i\u003e Dr. Robert Ackerman, a silent son himself, examines the problems that commonly confront silent sons, keeping them from experiencing the full range of human emotions.
