2007 Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men by Leonard Sax (Hardcover - Aug 13, 2007)

Review: JAMA. 2007;298(22):2684-2685.

Concern about ne’er do well sons is ancient. In a quote attributed to Socrates by Plato, Socrates laments, "The children now live in luxury . . . and love chatter instead of exercise." Leonard Sax, a family physician and research psychologist, continues this tradition in Boys Adrift, arguing that there is a growing epidemic of unmotivated boys and underachieving young men. Five factors are identified to account for this proposed decline: (1) feminization of education; (2) video games; (3) increased prescription of psychotropic medications that affect the motivational systems of the brain; (4) exposure to endocrine disrupters; and (5) lack of heroic role models.

Sexual Difference in Hearing and Vision

Mark Liberman, a professor of linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania, has questioned on his blog, Language Log, some of the claims which Dr. Sax has made in the past, particularly on Dr. Sax's positions regarding sex differences in hearing and vision. Dr. Sax has replied directly to Professor Liberman (via snail mail). Having received no response from Professor Liberman, Dr. Sax has agreed to post these letters online.
