The nature of loving : patterns of human relationship

More about the book

Verena Kast fascinatingly describes how various forms of love relationships have been lived throughout mythology: merging, contentious marriages, older man-younger woman dynamics, mother-son relationships, and brother-sister connections. By comparing these mythological examples with couples from her therapeutic practice, she reveals that relationship fantasies are deeply rooted in our psyche. How can we find fulfillment? A look into myths serves as a mirror reflecting our deepest longings.
