review 1: Ok, so I am a little conflicted over this book - has a lot of good in it, Buddhist inspired ideas about dealing with pain, boundaries, acceptance of the givens in life, and good strategies for processing the past so that it does not impact negatively on present relationships, and on what are called the 5 A's of Adult relationships. I am conflicted because of some craziness right at the end about necessity of religion, and a little too much of the collective consciousness that Jung got sucked into. Definitely worth a read though, and the good far outweighs the bad in the book.
review 2: I appreciated the Buddhist take on relationships/psychology and thought there was some good background and examples of how/why transference occurs and how being more aware of the... morese factors can turn it from an impediment to a useful tool. Being more self-aware and mindful of our own and others transference interactions will be helpful in navigating communications/interactions and moving beyond real or perceived road blocks. less
