creativity." —from The Art of Intimacy

ourselves. They explain how we have become lost in our preoccupation with
systems—the hierarchical, fixed organization of relationships—and have thus

Drawing on their combined experience as psychotherapists, the authors
offer guidance on understanding and developing our own sense of self—the
basic tool that enables us to experience others as living, growing beings.
Through achieving this essential intimacy, we can create sexually, emotion-
ally, and psychologically satisfying relationships—and more important, we can
grow and evolve with them.
No other book provides such an enriching program for fulfilling our
deepest human needs. The Art of Intimacy is a book you will cherish.
