The Love Cure asks questions and describes feelings and events that the therapeutic and self-help communities would rather not look at. But it goes beyond simplistic and moralistic either/or, yes-or-no debates about erotic relations in therapy. Dr. Haule is a clear-minded and full-hearted professional who writes brightly, learnedly, and with a rich understanding of the complexities of love, the illusions it brings, and the healing it offers.

Bravely shouts the dark secret of successful therapy: LOVE!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Love Cure Therapy Erotic Sex (Jungian Classics Series) (Paperback)
Falling in love again, hopelessly? You're the patient and it's your therapist? Don't curse your fate, fool! Be glad! It means there's a cure on the way. You're the therapist and it's the patient? Dare to be proud and stay with it. Love has been the secret ingredient of successful therapies from the earliest days of psychoanalysis, but it's too dangerous a topic to talk about in this suspicious age. This author risks thinking the unthinkable, saying the unsayable. For professionals and interested laymen

a phobically distorted issue in psychotherapy,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Love Cure Therapy Erotic Sex (Jungian Classics Series) (Paperback)
This is a book that therapists really serious about their work ought to study and treasure. (I should emphasize that I am not a Jungian, so my unqualified admiration for this book is not a matter of partisan allegiance.) It unpacks the core topic in all its complexity, and, without being preachy, provides tremendously helpful guidancance for thinking about and handling this central issue without dogma or defensiveness. I see it as certainly one of, if not the, the most important recent contributions to the psychodynamic literature. I came upon it through reading Robert Stein's "The betrayal of the soul in psychotherapy" (1973/1984), which I recommend as a very fine earlier preparatory study.

Outstanding Contribution,
This review is from: Love Cure Therapy Erotic Sex (Jungian Classics Series) (Paperback)
From the perspective of a professional conducting "treatments" I can't speak highly enough of just how much this book has transformed my work. No longer does the "Persona World" warp and distort my meeting of my clients in counter-productive ways. I've ploughed through reams of analytic literature in the course of my professional development but this stands out, by far, as the brightest and shiniest coin of them all. I like the fact that Dr. Haule puts forth a position/arguement that is not proscriptive but thought provoking. It paves a path for an approach towards the work by melding Kohut and Jung in a way that seems organic and complimentory......Outstanding.
