The Dance of Intimacy

"In this book, Dr. Lerner takes a careful look at those relationships where intimacy is most challenged by too much distance, too much intensity, or simply too much pain. In clear, direct, and dramatic terms Dr. Lerner illustrates how we can move differently in these key relationships--be they with a distant or unfaithful spouse, a depressed sister, a difficult mother, an alcoholic father, an uncommitted lover, a dying parent, or a family member rom whom we are cut off. The Dance of Intimacy teaches us about "the differences that make a difference"--The changes we can make in one or two significant relationships that will change everything--including our capacity for intimacy and selfhood over the long haul."--[Résumé de l'auteur].
