Love may be the blindest spot of our civilization.
We talk, write, and sing about it, live for it, die for it, and yet love does not directly inform the way we structure our society. We have managed to digitally connect the whole planet but still struggle when it comes to understanding how our relationships work. In this ground-breaking new synthesis of psychological theory, psychotherapy expert Dimitra Doumpioti brings a fundamental expression of human life into the spotlight: the couple. Drawing on decades of psychological research, training, and clinical practice, she provides insight into the workings of this unique bond and sheds light into questions relevant to all:
• What makes romantic relationships so important, powerful, special, or painful to those who experience them?
• How come we feel trapped in them so often, and why do attempts at communication fail so frequently?
• How can we preserve our bonds while pushing one another to become the best versions of ourselves?
• How do external factors and third parties affect couples, and in what ways do our intimate relationships help shape the world we live in?
There is an abundance of insight on such questions in this work.
