Synopsis "the dance of connection,how to talk to someone when you´re mad, hurt, scared, frustrated, insulted, betrayed, or desperate"

Bestselling author Harriet Lerner focuses on the challenge and the importance of being able to express one's "authentic voice" in intimate relationships.The key problem in relationships, particularly over time, is that people begin to lose their voice. Despite decades of assertiveness training and lots of good advice about communicating with clarity, timing, and tact, women and men find that their greatest complaints in marriage and other intimate relationships are that they are not being heard, that they cannot affect the other person, that fights go nowhere, that conflict brings only pain. Although an intimate, long-term relationship offers the greatest possibilities for knowing the other person and being known, these relationships are also fertile ground for silence and frustration when it comes to articulating a true self. And yet giving voice to this self is at the center of having both a relationship and a self. Much as she did in THE MOTHER DANCE, Lerner will approach this rich subject with tales from her personal life and clinical work, inspiring and teaching readers to speak their own truths to the most important people in their lives.

Harriet Lerner (born November 30, 1944) is an American clinical psychologist known for her work in women's psychology and family relationships. She earned her bachelor's degree at the University of Wisconsin, a master's in Educational Psychology at Columbia University, and a PhD in Clinical Psychology at the City University of New York. She completed her predoctoral internship at Mount Zion Hospital in San Francisco and finished her postdoctoral training at the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kansas, where she worked for over two decades.

Lerner is the author of several bestsellers, including The Dance of Anger, The Dance of Intimacy, and Why Won’t You Apologize?, which have sold over six million copies combined and have been translated into more than 35 languages. Her approach blends feminist theory and family systems to provide practical tools in improving personal relationships.

In addition to her work as an author, she has been a speaker and consultant, participating in programs like The Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN, and NPR. She currently resides in Lawrence, Kansas, where she maintains a private practice with her husband, Steve Lerner, also a psychologist, and they have two adult children.
