Four decades of contributions to personality theory and family
practice have earned Luciano La (TM)Abate a worldwide reputation
for therapeutic insights. Now he expands on his pathbreaking
relational theory of personality to apply it to the
twenty-first-century family in all its configurations. Personality
in Intimate Relationships showcases La (TM)Abatea (TM)s trademark
elegant style and provocative ideas in his most accessible work to
date.
Based on Axes I and II of the DSM-IV, the book describes
relationships along a readily identifiable continuum ranging from
optimal functionality to severe pathology, linking the authora
(TM)s conceptual framework to specific diagnostic strategies,
therapeutic interventions, and prevention programs. La (TM)Abatea
(TM)s theory not only integrates individual and family theories and
seemingly disparate schools of thought, but is also inclusive of
nontraditional relationshipsa "grandparent/grandchild dyads,
adoptive families, same-sex couples, and othersa "that are often
left out of the family literature.
Among the key areas explored in the book:
a [ Selfhood and self-differentiation
a [ Confrontation and sharing of hurt feelings
a [ Negotiating, bargaining, and problem-solving
a [ Dealing with distance and closeness
a [ Intimacy and the ability to love
In addition, the reader is referred to complementary online
appendices that supply helpful questionnaires, workbooks, and ideas
for further applications.
Personality in Intimate Relationships offers fresh perspective to
all frontline practitioners as well as investigators in this area.
It is also ideal for graduate courses in abnormal psychology and
personaldevelopment.
