Are Women RIGHT?
 Mrs. A. was complaining about her husband's inattention to her needs: "he is not helping with the chores at home; does not talk about his day when he gets home, doesn't really hear what I say; is indifferent or even hostile toward my side of family while defending his family in every argument; watches too much TV and dozes off in his own world; is harsh on children in his communications with them; is very demanding in bed without caring about my satisfaction; doesn't spend money with ease and never tells me how much money we have; ....". As she was going on, my mind recalled the voices of many other women with similar complaints. In working with relational issues and couples' counseling, over the years most women have commonly stated that their needs are not met and objected men's "inappropriateness". I had often wondered if all these women could be "right". Was it possible that so many men were so wrongful and insensitive to their women's needs?
As a male psychotherapist hearing women's complaints about men is a unique experience. Not only I am continuously in the position of hearing women's concerns about men, I have also lived the life of the "villain" man; the one who most women are complaining about. Although I can understand my female clients' sensitivities, it is never easy to convince their men that "women are right". As long as each gender believes the other is "wrong" making meaningful connections become challenging. If we can establish that "being right" as a woman does not constitute that her man is "wrong", then there will be less reason for hostility. With acceptance, healthier communications become possible.
Most men grow up with aspirations to be strong, so to feel like a man their actions are focused on their drive to protect and to provide. However, these strong men are mostly raised by women who are nurturers and care-givers. Traditionally women have attended to the immediate needs of a family while their men focused on the outside world's challenges. Men have experienced social responsibilities according to their gender roles and imposed by their care-givers. Then men have continued to protect their strength by rejecting their mothers' vulnerabilities while women have adapted to their mom's roles and continued to be nurturing. This behavior has gone on for thousands of years since our primary ancestors started their communities as "hunter-gatherers". Over 10,000 years ago men traveled far distances to hunt for food, while women stayed around and gathered fruits and roots for survival of their offspring.
The findings published in the British Journal of Psychology validate the concept that due to the hunter-gatherer identity of human race, men and women's brains have evolved in different ways. Psychologist Helen Stancey of Hammersmith and West London College has noted: "Evidence already exists that separate pathways in the brain process visual information from near and far space. Our results suggest that the near pathway is favored in women and the far pathway is favored in men. These sex differences in visual processing may be a result of our hunter-gatherer evolutionary legacy. As the predominant gatherers, women would have needed to work well in near space, whereas the prey for (predominantly male) hunters would have been in far space."
In facing everyday issues or subjects such deeply rooted pathways have created two distinctly different thought patterns. Women naturally pay more specific attention to ...Continue Reading

This weeks topic: Culture: "The Iran Job"
Difference, Respect, & Acceptance
Today, more than any other time in the history of humanity, we are exposed to different cultures and belief systems. Rarely do we have a chance to get a glimpse into the mind set of a different culture through the eyes of a complete outsider. The Iran Job provides such a glimpse.
By being sensitive to the importance of personal relationships, American basketball player Kevin Sheppard gets a first-hand look at life in contemporary Iran. Through his teammates and friends in Iran, Kevin understands their values, dreams, difficulties, aspirations, and - among other things - how women in Iran cope with the cultural restrictions imposed on them.
Kevin shows how respecting cultural differences can pave the road to acceptance and cooperation when for three years he lives in a country that is often perceived as anti-American.
Dr. Sadigh's interview with Kevin Sheppard and Till Schauder, a graduate of the University of Television and Film in Munich and the Director/Producer/ Cinematographer/Co-Editor of The Iran Job, reveals how this documentary can capture the psychological, social, and political pulse of a culture and bring crucial awareness to millions of outsiders.
