Customer Reviews

A once yearly read

This book finally gives us a language to describe our relationships and to understand their depths. I've recommended this to so many people and I continue to have it in my yearly read stack(which only includes a few other titles).

Great Book

This is a great book for sorting the different possible relationship types. The author does a good job of writing a book on relationship that is easy to read and requires no prior knowledge of psychology at all. I recommend this to anyone who would like to raise their awareness of the ways that their relationships with other people affect them.

An under-recognized gem!

This book covers and integrates object relations theory and feminist theory. It offers a serious, in-depth, and often inspiring look at how people relate to each other and why it is so difficult to talk about this subject in our culture. I hightly recommend it!
