Book excerpt: A groundbreaking book about why the one thing we all fear—ambivalence—is the one thing we must accept to find lasting love. If Love Could Think is an entertaining and practical book that addresses with warmth and intelligence the age-old question relevant to any stage of a relationship: why does love go wrong, and what can we do to make it right? After many years of treating patients with relationship problems, psychologist Alon Gratch has identified seven common patterns of failed love. These patterns include, for example, narcissistic love, when a person has so idealized the partner and the relationship that they can’t possibly continue to measure up; one-way love, when a person loves someone who doesn’t return that love; triangular love, when a third party, be it a mother, an affair, or a job is involved in the relationship; and forbidden love, the kind of relationship that is generally off-limits, such as when a teacher dates a student. In If Love Could Think, Gratch shows us that all of these patterns stem from one fundamental problem—our own ambivalence. With his trademark combination of depth and humor, and using many individual stories as engaging examples, Gratch walks us through the ways we get stuck in these patterns. In each case we are looking for perfect or ideal love. Every pattern creates an obstacle so we don’t have to face our own ambivalence about the relationship or the other person. But humans aren’t perfect, so no matter how wonderful love can be, there is no such thing as pure love. Ambivalence implies the existence not only of love but also of anger, disapproval, or disappointment. As Dr. Gratch shows, there are really only two choices: accept ambivalence as part of any loving relationship, or continue to repeat the patterns of illusory love. Happily, using a simple yet powerful three-step approach, If Love Could Think helps readers to use their own minds to break these patterns of failed relationships and find real and lasting love.

Download or read book If Love Could Kill written by Anna Motz and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking work by an internationally acclaimed forensic psychotherapist that looks at women who commit extreme acts of violence and cruelty and at the underlying oppression and abuse often at the heart of these crimes Women can be murderers and child abusers. They can commit acts of extreme and sadistic brutality. And those who do, are outcasts from society and from womanhood itself. They are seen as monsters and angels of death: and must be kept at a safe distance. Anna Motz is a renowned clinical and forensic psychologist in London and New York. Writing with candor, compassion, and a clear-eyed perspective, she explores in depth the shockingly underexamined psychological underpinnings of female violence. Far from the heartless and inhuman monsters we might believe them to be, these women are often victims of a culture of violence and emotional trauma. Already hailed as a landmark, Motz's daring book, bursting with humanity, makes clear that women’s violence is more widespread than most realize, that these acts of violence expose deeply held, centuries-old beliefs about women and their value, and that these acts demand to be taken more seriously as a distinctive societal taboo that can—and must—be brought into the light.

Download or read book Dear Heartbreakers written by Vivien Kis and published by Europa Edizioni. This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the human soul with crude honesty and emotionalism, putting the fragile, and often terrifying, human mind under the magnifying glass. Vivien Kis carefully scrutinizes love with vivid imagery and dark metaphors like a modern Sylvia Plath. The author centers her poems around the emotion most confining to human nature – fear. Fear and love are deeply intertwined and most of the time cannot peacefully coexist. The author’s main goal is to encourage people through her writing to not be afraid of feeling their feelings. You are always stronger than you think. Vivien Kis was born in Hungary and grew up in Germany. Later on, she received a scholarship to pursue her degree in Economics at the University of the South in the US. After graduation, she has lived in Prague, Rome, Dubai and Bali. She wrote her first poem when she was fifteen years old and has won numerous awards and prizes for her poetry such as the Daniil Pashkoff Prize and the Dream Quest One Competition. This collection of poems was written in 2015 in the city of Rome where she became inspired by the sudden disappearance of a loved one and by the timeless beauty of the Eternal City. Her work takes a very honest view on love, loss, trauma and most importantly – pain. With this poetry collection, the author invites the readers to set out on a journey of healing. Using the power of candid words, she wanted to present the raw and yet beautiful side of pain and how it is necessary to accept it in order to process our emotional wounds. In addition to writing poetry, the author also owns a headhunting agency and an e-commerce beauty business.
