Description
The Crisis of Love in an Age of Disillusion
"A witty, ironic, poetic, deeply intelligent and iconoclastic book about love . . . serious, wise and ultimately hopeful."--Carol Gilligan
We live in an age when love and power have become virtually interchangeable. Intimate Terrorism is a profound and beautifully written exploration of this condition that draws from psychology, literature, popular culture, current events, and the author's own therapeutic practice to examine the contemporary crisis of intimacy--and suggest what we all might do about it. In doing so it offers one of the most probing readings of the American psyche in years. "This is a serious essay, a thoughtful and thought-provoking meditation on what has gone wrong with love and marriage in the lives of individuals and in society as a whole."--Francine Klagsbrun, Boston Globe
"This is an exciting, troubling and lucid exploration of the ties that bind, even when they shouldn't."--Phillip Lopate
"Extraordinarily well written popular psychology. . . . A probing account of contemporary pain."--Kirkus Reviews
Michael Vincent Miller, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He lectures widely on his ideas about contemporary love and intimacy.
