Item Description
Hardcover ISBN 0-399-13324-0 Very good condition
Familiar to radio and TV audiences as "Dr. Dan," the author of The Peter
Pan Syndrome here addresses women with unsatisfactory mates.
Understanding oneself, the psychologist-author counsels, is the first
step to getting what you need from the man you love. Questionnaires
included in the text are meant to establish this groundwork, then the
reader moves on to Kiley's program for improving relationships. Case
histories dramatize difficulties caused by males who forget birthdays
and anniversaries, don't share housework, make love indifferently, etc.
Worse threats to domestic tranquility are also cited, problems arising
out of interfering in-laws, alcoholic or drug-addicted husbands. Kiley
offers suggestions for controlling bitterness and accepting a mate's
minor flaws by dwelling on his virtues. Women in demonstrably hopeless
situations are advised to sever the relationship even though they are
sexually in thrall to their partners. To cool unwanted passions, Kiley
recommends "aversion imagery"viewing the man as physically disgusting.
