It is for women and men. For people from all walks of life and all cultures. Closeness and attachment are basic needs for everyone.

A new format - for the most important and beloved books. The compact and lightweight pocketbook is easy to take with you on the go, travel, or for a walk. At the same time, we have preserved the quality of our books. Under the soft cover - white paper and a unique design. Nothing will interfere with the enjoyment of reading without compromise.

The author, Sue Johnson, along with her academic advisor, developed a new approach to couple therapy - emotionally focused therapy (EFT).

They launched a research project involving couples undergoing EFT (then still in development), couples offered behavioral therapy - communication and negotiation skills development, as well as couples who did not undergo therapy at all. EFT showed impressive results compared to the two other groups. Relationships in couples became closer, conflicts became less frequent, and satisfaction for both partners significantly increased.

The book consists of three parts. The first part answers the age-old question, "What is love?" It explains how we lose closeness, and along with it, love, even though we intended the best, even though we understood everything. It collects research data dedicated to love and relationships.

The second part presents the principles of emotionally focused therapy in popular terms. Seven healing dialogues covering defining, pivotal moments in relationships that will teach you to use these moments to make the connection strong and lasting. Stories from practice and a practical section after each dialogue will help connect EFT theory with practice and solidify each lesson with examples from your own relationships.

The third part is about the power of love. The love that can miraculously heal the wounds that life often inflicts on us. The love that strengthens our connection with the "greater world." Love and responsiveness are the foundation of a truly compassionate, civilized society.

At the end of the book, there is a glossary that will help understand unfamiliar terms.
