Both descriptive and prescriptive, it is a book for anyone looking to experience a committed relationship full of passion and tenderness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the labyrinth of love, every one of us has his or her own inner map. Psychologists Goldbart and Wallin lead us along the metaphorical superhighways on the map of love by charting six easily grasped skills-the six capacities of love-that are all necessary to a long-term, stable love relationship: the capacities for erotic involvement, for merging, for idealization, for integration, for \"refinding,\" and for self-transcendence. The authors demonstrate in a very practical, hands-on way how individuals and couples can use these capacities to work on breaking down their usual defenses and grow toward a deeper understanding and connection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn defending ourselves against disappointment in love, we frequently-and often unknowingly-throw up obstacles, create roadblocks, and take detours around these six capacities. We think such detours will take us where we want to go in a relationship, but too often they do not. Goldbart and Wallin's sophisticated but accessible approach-using case studies and practical pointers throughout-based on solid psycho-analytic theory while creating a completely new model for love relationships that also makes intuitive sense. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMapping the Terrain of the Heart\u003c\/i\u003e offers a comprehensive psychology of love that maps out the paths to a successful relationship and shows how both individuals and couples can progress toward that ever-elusive goal of lasting and passionate love.","brand":"Jason Aronson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47591477117079,"sku":"9781568217901","price":6996.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781568217901.webp?v=1774973300","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/mapping-the-terrain-of-the-heart-passion-tenderness-and-the-capacity-to-love-9781568217901","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
