Intimate Terrorism cover

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
"Extraordinarily well written popular psychology. . . . A probing account of contemporary pain." -- Kirkus Reviews
"A witty, ironic, poetic, deeply intelligent and iconoclastic book about love . . . serious, wise and ultimately hopeful." -- Carol Gilligan
