Publisher Description:
The author of the classic In a Different Voice offers a brilliant, provocative book about love that has powerful implications for the way we live and love today. "Compelling ... A thrilling new paradigm." --The Times Literary Supplement
Carol Gilligan, whose In a Different Voice revolutionized the study of human psychology, now asks: Why is love so often associated with tragedy? Why are our experiences of pleasure so often shadowed by loss? And can we change these patterns? Gilligan observes children at play and adult couples in therapy and discovers that the roots of a more hopeful view of love are all around us. She finds evidence in new psychological research and traces a path leading from the myth of Psyche and Cupid through Shakespeare's plays and Freud's case histories, to Anne Frank's diaries and contemporary novels.
