A New Psychology of Love,
Traditional Values, and Spiritual Growth.
A psychiatrist suggests ways in
which confronting and resolving problems, a painful process most people try to
avoid, can lead to greater self-understanding and spiritual growth.
Confronting and solving problems is
a painful process which most of us attempt to avoid. And the very avoidance
results in greater pain and an inability to grow both mentally and spiritually.
Drawing heavily on his own professional experience, leading psychiatrist Dr M.
Scott Peck suggests ways in which facing our difficulties - and suffering
through the changes - can enable us to reach a higher level of
self-understanding. He discusses the nature of loving relationships: how to
recognize true compatibility, how to distinguish dependency from love, how to
become one's own person, and how to be a more sensitive parent. This is the
bestselling self-help book that will change the way you live, and love, for
good.
