For anyone whose romantic partner has called them clingy, insecure, desperate, or jealous comes psychologist Becker-Phelps's new book aimed at helping those who feel insecure in love to develop healthier relationships with others and themselves. The author assists readers who suffer from a heightened fear of rejection by aiding them in recognizing their negative thoughts or unhealthy behavior patterns, and respond to them in a positive way. The four sections of the book allow readers to understand relationship struggles in the context of attachment theory, discover roadblocks to nurturing quality relationships, become more compassionate with themselves, and choose a good partner.
VERDICT A godsend for those who unknowingly bring a lot of angst into a relationship.
