very enlightening, November 22, 2009
This review is from: How to Recognize Emotional Unavailability and Make Healthy Relationship Choices (Hardcover)
This explains the sickness of emotional unavailability and why it happens very well. I learned a lot and was able to move on to a healthier dating life. I wish there was more out there on this subject as it is quite an insidious and destructive issue.

One thing they all have in common is that they are all Emotionally Unavailable. Each behaves in a way that will ultimately make a truly honest emotional relationship impossible. An Emotionally Unavailable Person may excite, confound, fascinate, and provide ample food for your obsession, but he/she will never be yours.
How to recognize Emotional Unavailability and Make Healthier Relationship Choices defines some of these behvioral styles, but it also goes beyond definitions to provide techniques and tools for change.
In this book you'll learn how to recognize Emotional Unavailability, learn the sources of the syndrome, acquire a framework for change and growth, and learn how to dump the toxic types and move on.
