The Mother Dance: How Children Change Your Life

21 reviews
Harriet Goldhor Lerner

Diane Pub Co, 1998

A Must Buy for Parents
Get this book NOW and give it to every Mom you know regardless of how old their children are! I read this book before I had kids to try and understand what my own Mom might have gone through. Now that I have 15 mo. old twins, I have re-read it during the long hours of breastfeeding! It is falling apart and my highlighter ran out of ink! Harriet Lerner has once again written a thoughtful, ...

What's So Terrible About Swallowing an Apple Seed

Harriet Goldhor Lerner, Susan Goldhor

Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2002

Forget Kirkus Review - My grandson loved this book
I recently bought this book for my 5 year old grandson and he loved it. I think most children will love this book precisely because in its own whimsical way it is true to life. It tells a story about exactly the kind of thing that older children actually do - or at least wish to do - to their younger sisters and brothers. When Katie swallows an apple seed, Rosie, the older sister, makes up a ...

Dare to be Different
Franny B Kranny loved her long red frizzy hair even if it was always getting stuck in things and causing trouble. So when her mother drags her to the hairdresser before a family reunion, she isn't happy. The hairdresser does his best to pin it up and make it look neat, while Franny schemes to undo his work as soon as she's out of the chair. But as she leaves the salon, a bird lands on her ...

Harper Perennial, 1998

Available online, very short
I bought another Reader's Guide, to three other books by Lerner. Besides being very very short, I discovered that a comprehensive set of Reader's Guides is available free on the author's Web site, www.harrietlerner.com. Everything in the "book" I bought was included on the Web site. I rate this five stars for content, three stars for how short it is, and one star for the idea of paying for ...

The Dance of Deception: Pretending and Truth-telling in Women's Lives

10 reviews
Harriet Goldhor Lerner

Rivers Oram Press, 1994

Clarity and Courage
Harriet Lerner has long been writing books that are both insightful and accessible. In 'The Dance of Deception' she has achieved something miraculous: she has written a book that can help you reconnect with estranged family members and friends, improve your rapport with your children, no matter their age, and, perhaps most importantly, help alleviate the pain that deception has caused you in your ...

Dance of Intimacy

28 reviews
H. Lerner, Harriet Goldhor Lerner

HarperCollins Publishers, 1990

the only self-help book you'll ever need
This book is wonderful because it does not force its opinion down your throat, and uses examples of real-life people to show how we as humans can connect with one another(and how societal expectations often lead us not to connect with the people we so despearately need to). I also love how Dr. Lerner says that it is important to separate the 'I' from the 'we.' This is one of the ...

The Dance of Anger: A Woman's Guide To Changing The Patterns Of Intimate Relationships

1 review
Harriet Goldhor Lerner

Harper & Row, 1986

Not Just for Women!
A very useful guide to dealing with suppressed and hidden anger. The author shows how anger awareness is an important pschological tool. Although written from a woman's perspective, it is very helpful for anyone dealing with these issues. It also has many helpful examples of how couples can improve the way they communicate.

A Reader's Guide to the Work of Harriet Lerner, Ph.D. (HarperCollins Reader's Guide)

1 review
Harriet Goldhor Lerner

Harper Perennial, 1998

Very very short, and available FREE online
Be forewarned, this "book" is only 18 pages long (not counting the title page, etc.) And the biographical sketch and interview with Lerner -- half of the 18 pages -- are both pretty forgetable. The heart of the "book" consists of study guides to the first three "Dance" books: "Dance of Anger", "Dance of Intimacy", and "Dance of Deception". They're well done, but only 2 pages each. There's ...

Dance of Anger

Harriet Goldhor Lerner

Harpercollins Publisher, 1985

Most important book I've ever read
Dance of Anger is the most important book I've ever read in my life. It helped me get through a very challenging time, and I read it again every once in a while just to revisit its important lessons. If you have anger, read this book!

Life Preservers: Staying Afloat in Love and Life

5 reviews
Harriet Goldhor Lerner

Diane Books Publishing Company, 1996

Therapist on call
I became a big fan of Dr. Lerner after reading the The Dance of Anger. This book is different from her other books because it's in a question and answer format. I thought I wouldn't like this format, but I was wrong. Her advice is so amazingly strong and helpful. She answers so many questions and problems that I've talked about with my therapist, or that I haven't had the nerve to share with ...
