What is life about? Love. Does love run smoothly? No. To whom does this matter? Everybody. Simply facts with enormous implications. In "Love and Its disappointment", which is rooted in common knowledge, David Brazier advances in clear and specific terms a radical and practical theory of human functioning, exploring the relationships between beauty and love, frustration and creativity, perception and healing. Essential reading for psychotherapists, this book is also full of insights for the critic of culture and society.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
His overall thesis that we are motivated by love, the inherent irony of existence - that as loving beings we are inevitably thwarted, and how we manage that - and how art and therapy can help us think about them, process them, inform us and occasionally heal us finds a way of saying what I have felt, in a much more incoherent way, for a long time. (Julia Samuel Metanoia Institute Tutor, Honorary Fellow of Imperial College) This time he takes on the interpersonal "dance" we call "relationship" offers new insights that seminal thinker Carl Rogers might have offered himself if he were alive today to extend his theory to meet the modern momentum of psychotherapy. (Robert Wicks Author of Riding the Dragon and The Resilient also Professor, Loyola University Maryland)
