内容简介
If love--the greatest of human emotions--has
so far brought you little but pain and anguish,
hcrc is help.
Over the past fiftccn years, Dr. Ken Piazza
has treated thousands of unhappy people...
people, like you, who need a new way to love
and to be loved. When Love Hurts is his pre-
scription for all of us in pain--women and
men, children and parents, companions and
friends. This book offers us a healthy way
to love.
Dr. Piazza believes that love hurts when you
are "caring" in the wrong way.
To discover why, in your case, he will help
you look at each of your lovc relationships
from three fresh perspectives--what he calls
the love pyramid. Its three elements are:
(1) the survival plan (your personal strategy
for facing the rigors, pitfalls and challenges
of life),. (2) the love debt (the wrongs you feel
your life must redress, based on your percep-
tion of inequalities in your parents" relation-
ship); and, (3) the romantic ideal (your
expectations of romantic love, based largely
on fantasy).
First Dr. Piazza helps you study your love
pyramid, then he offers a way to change the
elements that aren t working. Dr. Piazza s
treatment involves the most ancicnt of all
human loves--nurturing, the simple act of
compassion and empathy, the reaching-out to
others without pity or self-sacrifice. It is nur-
turing, you ll learn, that will help you rise
above your hurting relationship, "see" it in a
new way, and alleviate thc pain, once and for
all. That s what makes this book very different
from most recent guides to contemporary
living.
