Althea Horner writes mostly for psychologists, but she has written this book for the layperson. It is, however, dense reading in which you must understand each sentence or you begin to get lost. Don't let that deter you, however. This book is well worth reading.

Horner's discussions of adult emotional problems and their roots in early childhood development are incredibly insightful. If you are a fan of Erik Erikson, and inner child work, you must read this book. You will see yourself, your friends and family reflected in many pages of this book. She has a great chapter on "Do I need to see a therapist?" Highly recommended.

You will see yourself, your friends and family reflected in many pages of this book. Has a noteworthy, and non-superficial chapter on "Do I need to get counseling or not?" If you love material by Erik Erikson, Gale Sheehy, or John Bradshaw, you may want to check this out. Highly recommended.

Very good book to read. Help you to understand how past behaviors impact current situations.

Anyone thinking about a serious relationship (and that means just about everybody)should read this book. It provides a wealth of insight as to why we do what we do and why we are so often unhappy and unfulfilled.

January 25,1999 Jason Aronson has just released the new revised softcover editionn of Being and Loving. Ask Amazon to get it for you. ISBN 0-7657-0204-5

The book was said to be the 1999 edition. The one I got was the 1990 edition. I did NOT want that one.
