In this paper, the Author describes how to break the stereotype of a male code based on strength, stoicism and silence where there is no room for emotional intimacy and closeness. Men can discover a new way to be fathers with their children and to share their feelings and needs in the family as well as in their network of friends. He outlines too how to help fathers in therapy, especially through friendship labs.
Keywords: Men, fatherhood, male code, emotional intimacy, male friendship, group therapy.
