The author of the now-classic Permanent Partners presents a helpful, compassionate, and wise guide for lesbian and gay couples as their relationships mature.When Permanent Partners appeared in 1988, it was widely hailed as the first significant book aimed at helping lesbian and gay couples build fulfilling partnerships. Now, drawing on additional insights she has gained in the intervening years, Betty Berzon provides specific advice for those in long-term relationships (three years and longer) who are coping with the inevitable surprises, complications, and concerns about identities merging, sex waning, or the inability to resolve conflicts. Since gay and lesbian partners have few models to guide them, couples too often opt for ending the relationship rather than learning to work through their problems.Weaving in the story of her own twenty-two year relationship, Dr. Berzon addresses these issues along with failures of communication, competing career demands, illnesses, substance-abuse problems, and mid-life crises. She also deals with the issue of monogamy, and though she discourages non-monogamy, she provides strategies for how best to deal with an open relationship when that is what a couple decides to do.As the leading authority on strengthening gay and lesbian partnerships, Dr. Berzon provides the soundest and most realistic advice for any couple interested in a stable and rewarding life together.

An Exaltation of Romance and Revelry

The ancient wisdom of the great Hebrew mystics makes one essential promise: "There is a better way to live." In his follow-up to the national bestseller "Soul Prints," renowned spiritual leader Marc Gafni addresses the ever-important issue of our erotic connection to the universe. "The Mystery of Love"takes us on an extraordinary journey that illuminates the path toward all-encompassing and enduring love -- one that enables us to experience the full eros of living. With clarity and compassion, Rabbi Gafni teaches us how to live with passion and love in all facets of our lives. "The Mystery of Love" begins with a radical new understanding of loving, drawn from the ancient wisdom texts of the Kabbalist tradition, and explains how ten unique qualities of sexuality (The Hebrew Tantra) can serve as our spiritual guides in the creation of a loving, passionate existence in every dimension of our lives.

"The love and peace poems by international poet Ada Aharoni, are among the best in modern literature." (Saul Bellow, Nobel Laureate in Literature) "Rare Flower" by Ada Aharoni is a collection of moving, powerful and well-crafted poems, which has been compared to Jubran Khalil's "The Prophet." In brilliant poem after poem, Ada unfolds before our eyes new depths of human relations, the complexities and intricacies of love, and the joys and pains of life. Several of her poems have been put to music in a delightful manner. Influenced by the British Peace Poet, Wilfred Owen, whom she greatly admires, she powerfully denounces the whole concept and practice of War. As a woman and a mother, she condemns the killing of soldier-sons by involving them in war situations, and she clearly demonstrates that in our nuclear age, the continuation of the practice of war can dangerously lead to the end of humanity. Her beautiful, hopeful poems shed light and a deep comprehension of the possibilities of peace between Israelis and Palestinians, and the creation of "A Global Village Beyond War."

El amor tal como se trata en este libro va más allá de atracciones sexuales, imágenes o ideas. Tiene que ver con la biología, con la sangre. Keleman habla del amor desde un punto de vista evolutivo, psicobiológico, somático. El amor es ante todo una verdad del cuerpo, una realidad somática. La intimidad se basa en compartir la excitación vital interna. El deseo y el altruismo están profundamente enraizados en la vida celular. Aprendemos o ignoramos qué es el amor en nuestro entorno familiar. Aprendemos a amar de niñ amamos como nos amaron y como nos enseñaron a hacerlo. Una respuesta de amor escasa, excesiva o equivocada durante las cuatro etapas básicas de la crianza, el cuidado infantil, el compartir adolescente y la cooperación juvenil, puede alterar la experiencia somática de la personalidad en cuanto a la forma de ser amado y originar en la etapa adulta un carácter rígido, denso, hinchado o colapsado. Estas alteraciones características de la forma natural de amar y ser amado, se reflejan de forma muy precisa en la relación de pareja y en todo caso pueden ser trabajadas en el recinto seguro de la psicoterapia corporal. Stanley Keleman (Brooklyn, Nueva York, 1931) es un psicoterapeuta estadounidense, pionero del estudio del cuerpo y su conexión con los aspectos emocionales, psicológicos, sexuales e imaginativos de la experiencia humana. Ha estado desarrollando la psicología somática desde los años 60. Vive en Berkeley, California, donde trabaja individualmente y con grupos en el Center for Energetic Studies, del cual es director. A través de sus escritos y de la práctica, impartiendo numerosos cursos también cada año en Europa, ha desarrollado una metodología y un marco de referencia conceptual para la vida del cuerpo.

(Applause Books). The script to "one of the most tender yet devastating plays of the Drexlerian oeuvre is the musical romance Dear . It takes place in the Eisenhower Fifties, the early years of television. There is an elegiac quality for the tragicomedy punctuated by the sentimental music of the era...The play is about Jessie Clup, a Queens housewife whose philandering husband has deserted her. Her only culpa is her fixation on Perry Como, the ex-barber, crooner kin, reigning TV star." Rosette Lamont, StageView .

Exploring the worlds of love and dating with humor and insight. Some of this book with drawings by Frank Renlie examines love and dating in a humorous and frivolous manner, but other parts reveal love and dating as a crucial and disturbing phenomenon. But whether we approach love with tears or laughter, it is clear that love is the core and central meaning in the human experience. From its passions arise the continuity of life itself - survival of the species. Love can be the most exhilarating and satisfying emotion of all existence, and yet it can also be destructive and painful. Still, no life is complete without it.
