By Elayne Savage, Ph.D.

Intimacy is a balancing act that leaves most people teetering between their need for closeness and their need for autonomy. Couples often fall into treacherous patterns of hurt feelings and misunderstandings as one partner pushes for more intimacy and the other pulls away.

In this book, psychologist Elayne Savage shows readers how to recognize what the space struggles in their relationships are really about. Thought-provoking exercises and examples from her practice help couples get past old resentments and negotiate a shared space that satisfies each person's expectations and needs.
