Book Reviews of A General Theory of Love
Book Review: A rich synthesis of passion and professional committment
Summary: 5 Stars
A bold yet delicate approach. I very much appreciated the second chapter in helping me understand the basic structure of the brain.I believe this book to be a challenge to complacency that may exist among people working in the mental health field. It questions some assumptions that all troubles may be treated by a cognitive or behavioural approach and that the 'talking cure' may be enough.
I was delighted to read that "A capable therapist shares much with a good reader - he must willingly suspend his belief in the rules he know and approach a personal universe whose workings should be unimaginable to the uninitated".
I loved the encouragement to suspend knowing and maintain "a childlike capacity for wonder". I was both inspired and relieved to read these authors.
