Zusammenfassung:"Intrusive Partners - Elusive Mates is the first book of its kind devoted entirely to the understanding and treatment of one of the most common, yet challenging, patterns encountered in couples therapy, the pursuer-distancer (p-d) dynamic. To establish a conceptual foundation of the dynamic, common traits and tendencies of pursuers and distancers are explored and related to biological and societal influences. A comprehensive and integrative treatment model is then presented which combines aspects of psychoanalytic conflict theory and psychodynamic family of origin work with basic sex therapy principles and exercises
The therapist can employ this approach to help clients first identify and understand the impact that the p-d dynamic can have on a relationship and then work with them to develop more consistent levels of intimacy and healthy interaction."--Jacket
