The Dance of Intimacy

Review

This book had many similarities to The Dance of Anger, which I learned a lot from. I particularly enjoyed the sections on defining bottom-lines, understanding overfunctioning, and how triangles work. The emphasis on learning about family trees and patterns was thought-provoking.

Just as we strive for change, we also strive to conserve what is most valuable and familiar in our selves. And in a society where we are constantly being pressured to improve, actualize, and perfect our selves, it is probably wise to question why we should change at all and who is prescribing the changes.
