This recording of a 1987 presentation in San Diego, CA, is a Terry Gorski classic! Using a generous mix of humor and self-disclosure, Gorski describes different levels at which relationships operate.
In this best-seller, Gorski answers vital questions about intimacy and recovery. What is normal in a love relationship? How do we build healthy, intimate relationships into our recovery program?
This book is designed for women and men, from the early teens through the adult years. It takes a nonadversarial approach toward understanding and avoiding sexual aggression and manipulation in relationships, including the use of seduction, coercion, psychological force, and rape.
Gorski describes compulsive, healthy, and apathetic relationship styles and the five levels of relationship building: acquaintanceship, companionship, friendship, romantic love, and committed love.
