| Opplysninger | Love and addiction: the juxtaposition seems strange. Yet it shouldn't, for addiction has as much to do with love as it has with drugs. Many of us turn to each other out of the same needs that drive some people to drink and others to heroin. We often say "love" when we really are acting out a sterile, ingrown dependency relationship, with another person serving as the object of our need for security. This provocative book, the work of a prominent social psychologist, focuses on interpersonal relationships to explore what addiction really is - psychologically, socially, and culturally. It presents lucid guidelines for analyzing existing relationships in terms of their potential for mutual growth, and provides insightful, step-by-step means of strenghtening one's psychological center of gravity. The ultimate goal is a stronger self capable of loving out of a positive, joyous desire to share all that people find best in themselves and each other.
