by Thomas Lewis; Fari Amini; Richard Lannon
Three eminent psychiatrists draw upon the latest research of the human nervous system in this account of the complexities of love and its essential role in human well-being, explaining how relationships function, how parents shape their child's developing self, and how society flouts essential emotional laws. Illustrations.
First line
Two girls discover the sectret of life in a sudden line of poetry.
From the jacket flap
Drawing comparisons to the most eloquent science writing of our day, three eminent psychiatrists tackle the difficult task of reconciling what artists and thinkers have known for thousands of years about the human heart with what has only recently been learned about the primitive functions of the human brain. The result is an original, lucid, at times moving account of the complexities of love and its essential role in human well-being.
A General Theory of Love draws on the latest scientific research to demonstrate that our nervous systems are not self-contained: from earliest childhood, our brains actually link with those of the people close to us, in a silent rhythm that alters the very structure of our brains, establishes life-long emotional patterns, and makes us, in large part, who we are. Explaining how relationships function, how parents shape their child's developing self, how psychotherapy really works, and how our society dangerously flouts essential emotional laws, this is a work of rare passion and eloquence that will forever change the way you think about human intimacy.
