Description - Odyssey of the Heart by John H. Harvey
An extensive revision of the 1995 version of this text, this second edition updates the literature on close relationships. It reflects the theme of Homer's writing about Odysseus in his 10-year journey home after the Trojan War - it shows how the path of a close relationship resembles an odyssey of the heart - a wandering course filled with hope, disappointment, agony and ecstasy. Written in a personal, story-telling style, it weaves excerpts of actual relationships with contemporary and classic research to provide a better perspective on our own experiences in light of the principles of relationships. Highlights of its coverage include the classic research on personal attraction, dating and meeting others for closeness and the maintenance and dissolution of relationships. Features of this second edition include: contemporary research and therapeutic techniques on maintaining and enhancing relationships; new chapters on the family; a new chapter on same sex relationships; new chapters on the dark side of relationships; and a final chapter on "recommendations for growth". It is intended as a text for courses or advanced seminars on close and/or interpersonal relationships.
