From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Brian G. Gilmartin is an author known for his writing on what he calls love-shyness.

Some of his books are How to Excel at Parenting: 33 Proven Success Strategies (2003) and Shyness & Love: Causes, Consequences and Treatment, Second Edition (2012).

Love-shyness

[edit]

Gilmartin's theory of love-shyness is elaborated in his books:

  • Shyness & Love (1987)
  • The Shy Man Syndrome (1989)
  • Shyness & Love, Second Edition (2012)

His survey and empirical data for these books are described in his articles:

  • "Some family antecedents of severe shyness in males" (1985)[1]
  • "Peer group antecedents of severe love-shyness in males" (1987)[2]

Criticism of his research is that he has wasted attention on pseudoscientific theories of shyness,[3] and that he has not paid enough attention to research regarding similar shyness in women.[4]
