The Dance of Connection

A Wonderful insite to relationships!
Easy read! Helpful in understanding relative difficulties.

Delivers---Ways of Staying Connected

*****
The Dance of Connection delivers what it promises. In a beautiful conversational style, the author explores situations involving: vulnerability, romantic relationships, marriages, marriage problems, silent men/angry women, criticism, apologies, estrangement, and more. Harriet Lerner offers methods of dealing with difficulties in these areas while at the same time maintaining conncection. Especially valuable to me was how the author addressed holding the space for reconnection when you are estranged in a relationship.

The author's approach is compassionate and efficacious, and potentially could save you money spent in therapy. This book is worth every penny.

worth a read

Looks like there are mixed reviews for this book. Well, it's all a matter of what you happen to be looking for. If you are expecting an instruction manual...if you want to learn techniques, this really isn't your book. This is more like a pleasurable essay, a well-written, good read, with some gems in terms of psychological insights that you may take with you beyond the reading of the book. Finding and/or getting clear about your voice is a theme in this book. It has the feeling of a conversation with a friend, and I find it admirable -- and I think it will be helpful to many readers -- that the author was willing and able to share her own life experiences as she did.

Not exactly what I thought it would be...

This book is very well written and down to earth, but I thought that it would give more substantial ideas on how to fight fairly and communicate well with your partner and/or family. Instead it was much more general in discussing relationships.

Still, it certainly made me think about how I relate to the people in my life.
