Forgiveness in Intimate Relationships

Shahrzad Siassi Β· 2013
74/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Siassi's psychoanalytic exploration of forgiveness in intimate relationships is a rigorous, well-regarded contribution that fills a real gap in the clinical literature β€” if you are the intended reader, a practicing analyst or advanced graduate student. The American Journal of Psychoanalysis endorsement and praise from senior colleagues is genuine signal. Outside that specialist audience, though, the dense theoretical register and narrow scope make it a hard recommend.
