Presents a study of adult relatedness, not in the usual psychopathological framework of dependence and codependence, but in terms of the dynamic and essential ways these connections make us whole.

Based on interviews with men and women of all ages, Ruthellen Josselson explores the role of human relations in psychological development. She identifies what people need from each other, and how practitioners can help clients recognize, bear and direct their need for others. The Space Between Us presents a vocabulary for understanding human relationships, not in the traditional negative framework of depAndence and codepAndence, but in terms of the essential ways in which these connections make us whole.
Rather than merely giving advice on how to improve a marriage or other romantic attachment, psychologist Josselson ( Finding Herself ) explores eight types of relationships, from the deeply intimate to the very casual. Although some people may be most adept at one type of interaction, all such relationships are important to our growth as caring human beings, she states. Each chapter closes with a short life history of a person interviewed by the author, with particular attention paid to how the type of relationship discussed shaped that person?to avoid psychobabble? . Visual diagrams chart these men's and women's relationships throughout their lives. Additional chapters cover how the sexes differ in the way they relate to others and the various forms that love can take. Deep and insightful, this should prove important to professional therapists as well as to those seeking a better understanding of human nature.
