His A.A. is from St. Francis de Sales College, Nagpur, and his B.Ph. is from Papal Athaneum, Poona, both in India. Dr. Sequeira went on to earn his S.T.L. licensate in theology at Catholic University of Fribourg, Switzerland; his M.A. at Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles; and his Ph.D. in clinical and social psychology at Wright Institute of Los Angeles. He stayed on in southern California, where he now lives and works as a clinical psychologist.As a missionary in Brazil, Dr. Sequeira noted that among other machismo characteristics, most local men visited prostitutes and this was tacitly accepted by their wives and children. ''I found this very odd,'' he says, ''and I decided to write my dissertation on machismo in Hispanic culture.''The dissertation was accepted with the proviso that it not be published; the dean, who was Hispanic, ''did not like what I had written.'' Now, with the addition of much new information on the parallel culture of marianismo, that original study is presented in this book.ver menos
