About This Item
Northvale, New Jersey, U.S.A.: Jason Aronson Inc, 1996. A very crisp and clean first edition, almost new and unread condition, gift quality! Black cloth with gilt lettering on the spine. Dj is nicely preserved in a brand new protective mylar plastic cover! 232 very clean unmarked and uncreased informative and educational pages! "We all have a profound need for intimacy, a need that is often massively frustrated in contemporary society. Unable to obtain genuine closeness, we often try instead to control one another, which unfortunately makes real intimacy even less likely. Nationally known psychotherapist Gerald Alper presents an original book that shows how these dynamics of control are particularly played out on the singles scene between people who are self-consciously pursuing an intimate connection while consciously (and paradoxically) avoicing one. Specific treatment approaches to helping people overcome these self-defeating games are thoroughly discussed.". First Edition / First Printing. Black Cloth. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
