Written by a PhD, it focuses on how to deal with those loved ones in our lives who may be sometimes troublesome, not just spouses, but family members too (think meddling mothers and alcoholic fathers). Many anecotes of actual people. Learn to establish boundaries and heal toxic relationships. Still a "modern" book with a modern message, despite it's publish date.

In The Dance of Intimacy, the bestselling author of The Dance of Anger outlines the steps to take so that good relationships can be strengthened and difficult ones can be healed. Taking a careful look at those relationships where intimacy is most challenged--by distance, intensity, or pain--she teaches us about the specific changes we can make to achieve a more solid sense of self and a more intimate connectedness with others. Combining clear advice with vivid case examples, Dr. Lerner offers us the most solid, helpful book on intimate relationships that both women and men may ever encounter.
