The Love Cure asks questions and describes feelings and events that the therapeutic and self-help communities would rather not look at. But it goes beyond simplistic and moralistic either/or, yes-or-no debates about erotic relations in therapy. Dr. Haule is a clear-minded and full-hearted professional who writes brightly, learnedly, and with a rich understanding of the complexities of love, the illusions it brings, and the healing it offers.
I devoured this book. I had been searching high and low for a book that approached this often touchy, misunderstood, taboo topic. Haule explores it with a very validating, yet objectively analytical stance. The love that is present in the interactive field throughout analysis is a crucial factor in building that transformative therapeutic relationship, and being able to address it interpersonally from a transcendent perspective is extremely important to the healing process. This book helps elaborate the importance of this experience and teaches one how to employ it in their own work from the most ethical avenue.
