Available for ordering at local bookstores or online.
Ballantine Books ($19)
Dr. John Amodeo explores the many forms betrayal can take, from keeping secrets and negative gossip to breaking promises and sexual infidelity. In the process, Dr. Amodeo offers guidance for healing the wounds of past betrayals, and how to cultivate a climate of love and trust in your current relationships. John Amodeo's compassionate approach suggests taking responsibility for moving forward, rather than getting stuck in blame and rage. He gently guides you toward affirming your worth and moving toward real healing. This is a necessary step toward partnerships and friendships that are rich, mature, and fulfilling.
PRAISE FOR LOVE & BETRAYAL:
"The best work I have seen about the authentic experience of the most difficult aspect of relationships."
-- Arnold Mindell, Ph.D., author of Working With the Dreaming Body
"A book of profound insight and wisdom, written not just for those who have been betrayed, but for anyone who wants to build deeper, more trusting relationships."
-- Susan Campbell, author of The Couples Journey
"The gift of John Amodeo's book is that it gently invites the reader to participate feelingly, not just intellectually. By experiencing and understanding betrayal from a new and deeper perspective, the reader can access paths of healing and growth that are profound."
-- Arnold Katz, Ph.D., University of Washington
"A thoughtful, useful, readable book that sensitively addresses a topic touching all of our lives. This book helps us deal with the pain, loss, and disillusionment of betrayal in a way that can lead to a renewal of ourselves and our relationships."
-- Aaron Kipnis, Ph.D., author of Knights Without Armor: A Practical Guide for Men in Quest of Masculine Soul
"John Amodeo addressed the too-long-neglected matter of failed relationships. He looks with the experience of a psychotherapist, researcher, lover, and friend, at the challenges faced by men and women who want to live with more love and less fear. Love & Betrayal fills a real need in the literature of self-help"
--Jean Liedloff, author of The Continuum Concept

Being Intimate: A Guide to Successful Relationships
Available online ($11.95)
For those people who have succumbed to romantic ideals about relationships, the reality can be disappointing. Others may find it difficult to express their needs and wants effectively. Being Intimate explores how fulfilling relationships can be achieved. By knowing our true feelings and needs and communicating these clearly, we create a climate for love and intimacy to flourish. Introducing and explaining practical techniques, including a process called Focusing (described in detail), the authors show how we can develop trust with others and transform negative experiences into richly satisfying ones. For those entering new relationships or who seek ways of enriching their current relationships, this book will be of immense and lasting value.

--Virginia Satir, author of Conjoint Family Therapy

-- Ken Wilber, author of A Brief History of Everything.
* "Being Intimate is a practical and original approach for individuals and couples that could make all he difference between happiness and painful separation."
-- Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence
