Su questo libro

Recensione:

Miller and Stiver give us a soaring new vision of what matters most in our lives-authentic and mutually enhancing relationships. . . .This is a wise and wonderful book about the deepest and most precious longings that we humans experience. --Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., author of The Dance of Anger

"The Healing Connection is a welcome and long overdue synthesis and integration of the brilliant thinking of Jean Baker Miller, Irene Stiver and their colleagues at the Stone Center. . . . This book presents a quietly revolutionary shift in the basic theory of human development. . . . A fitting capstone to [the] brilliant and revolutionary [Toward a New Psychology of Women]." -Alice C. Lawler, Ph.D., Contemporary Psychology Journal

"How we form and sustain intimate relationships through crises, frailties, betrayals, deep disagreements and long arid stretches. . . . A useful lens through which to view our atomistic culture and the therapeutic process." --Martha Manning, New York Times Book Review

"Wonderfully readable . . . Miller and her colleague Irene Stiver (both legendary therapists and supervisors) have added chapter and verse documenting the importance of connection for women. . . . But whether you're a man or a woman, reading this book is almost as special as finding a really great therapist." --Alan Stone, M.D., Psychiatric Times

"A gem. . . . Pick up this very readable volume, and treat yourself to a book that is important to us, our patients, and the future of our society." --Marsha Pravder Mirkin, Ph.D., Journal of Feminist Family Therapy
