The Courage to Love: Principles and Practices of Self-Relations Psychotherapy

by Stephen Gilligan

This is a book about how psychotherapy may be used to cultivate the courage and freedom to love. In a time when love seems to be fading and hatred and despair rising, it presents love as a skill and force that can heal and invigorate, reconnect and guide, calm and encourage. In Gilligan's self-relations approach, psychotherapy is a conversation about competing differences. When these differences are treated violently or indifferently, problems arise; solutions develop when the skills of love are practiced. Those practical skills are described here, with an emphasis on postconventional ethics, Buddhist and aikido principles, and ideas of human sponsorship.

Ta książka jest fenomenalnej jakości ściągą z najlepszych idei leżących u podstaw współczesnego myślenia terapeutycznego (na ile je znam jako czytająca laiczka oczywiście).
Będę wracać.
