About this title

Synopsis

Integrating psychological theories with empirical evidence, the author of this volume draws fundamental conclusions about the nature and types of relationships, and develops eight dimensions of relatedness ranging from the very casual to the deeply intimate.

Each chapter examines a particular dimension and includes a brief life history of a person interviewed by the author. Particular attention is paid to how the type of relationship discussed shaped that person, with diagrams charting these relationships over time. The book also discusses how the sexes differ in the way they relate to others and the various forms that love can take.

From the Back Cover

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.
