Barriers to Loving is an intriguing exploration of the role of
sexual love over the course of life. Beginning with the mental
health professions' avoidance of the topic, Levine proposes a
compendium of love's pathologies by reorganizing what is familiar
to clinicians into the barriers that limit the formation of
adult-adult love, impediments that diminish a partner's lovability,
and the impediments to feeling and expressing love for a partner.
Before reviewing scientific contributions to the understanding of
love, he explores the topics of sexual excess and infidelity and
how they relate to the aspiration to love and be loved. The final
two chapters synthesize with clarity what to teach about love to
young professionals in order to prepare them for the complexities
they will soon encounter and provide a sophisticated answer to the
question, What is love? Barriers to Loving integrates humanism,
science, and clinical experience in Levine's long-appreciated
unique and mature voice.
