New Projects
Written by John Howard Prin, LADC
Why is a book on intimacy necessary for men in the 21st Century?
Having led hundreds of therapy and 12-Step groups, John has observed the sad reality that many of today's men live with only half of life's feelings and "soft" emotions available to them. These are everyday guys who want happier lives, and to feel comfort, bonding, and appreciation for the efforts they make at wholeness. John realizes that men don’t easily use the word intimacy, but he believes that they do want the feelings intimacy affords.
John is conducting a survey of male participants to gain insight into thoughts on male intimacy. We invite you to participate and share your experiences. Women are also welcome to participate, but we ask that you respond based on your knowledge of the man (or men) you have in mind as all questions are male oriented. Thank you for your time and participation.

Breaking Free From Secret Addictions
by John Howard Prin, LADC
Secret Keepers are everyday folks who may be well functioning on one level, but in bondage to deeply held secrets on another. The author himself is a prime example, and Stolen Hours is his story.

- Robert. E. Hardy, EdD
