After the successful "Hold Me Tight," Dr. Sue Johnson, with her new book "Love Sense," introduces us to a revolutionary new understanding of love, a perspective that is optimistic and practical. Grounded in science, this approach reveals to us that love is vital for us, inherently logical, and comprehensible. In short, love "makes sense." Dr. Johnson, through long-term pioneering research, tells us that a romantic bond is very similar to the mother-child bond and is inextricably linked to a primal instinct of ours: our intense need for connection.
Love is wise, the author tells us. It is one of the ingredients for the recipe of survival and good health, happiness, and even youthfulness. A loving relationship is the key to creating families that teach their children the necessary skills to maintain a civilized society: trust, empathy, cooperation. Dr. Sue Johnson, who created the Emotionally Focused Therapy model or EFT model, explains how to cultivate the ability to build long-term emotional relationships.
Love Sense proposes three strategies for handling our emotional needs and fears and offers us a new perspective on sex and emotional commitment, as well as practical, user-friendly advice to build healthy love relationships with safety and trust.
