" This is a good basic guide to "the patterns of intimate relationships", but I feel it's quite dated in its approach to women as audience. The author is allowed to be different; the reader is pigeonholed as overemotional nurturer. Those of us who don't fit that mold, or were, perhaps, raised a generation later/as or by feminists, may not find answers in Dr Lerner's case histories. Chapter 9 is really very useful, though. "
