The Ability to Love. How to Build Relationships After Losses and Disappointments

FROM THE PUBLISHER: How is love structured? Why do some people not spend a day alone, while others search for their 'special' person their entire lives? What causes relationships to collapse? How to trust another after a painful breakup and disappointment in a partner? In this book, Evgeny Andreev and Fyodor Konorov, psychologists, gestalt therapists, and teachers at the Moscow Gestalt Institute, who have helped hundreds of people build strong, conscious relationships, share their experiences and explore what the ability to love means. You will learn: • can love be preserved for a long time; • what events have the greatest impact on relationships; • what to do if your partner is distancing from you; • how to overcome a crisis in a relationship. REVIEW: 'A kind and unhurried book that helps to discover the wonderful ability to experience your relationships with loved ones with warmth and hope, and does not allow you to sink into gloom and despair from misunderstandings, disappointments, and pain during difficult crises. It happens, authors say. — And hurts, and pain, and anger, but look, reader, how much love can be found within yourself and seen in another.' — Natalia Kedrova, gestalt therapist, supervisor, associate professor of the Department of 'Child and Family Psychotherapy' at MGPPU, author of the books 'The ABC of Emotions', 'The Inner World', 'Restoring Contact with Children'
