Territory Rights — Worldwide.
Description
We live in an age when love and power have become virtually interchangeable.
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.

"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
