The courage to love - Stephen G. Gilligan

In a time when love seems to be fading and hatred and despair rising, it presents love as a
skill and force that can heal and invigorate,
reconnect and guide, calm and encourage. In
Gilligan's self-relations approach,
psychotherapy is a conversation about competing
differences. When these differences are treated
violently or indifferently, problems arise;
solutions develop when the skills of love are
practiced. Those practical skills are described
here, with an emphasis on postconventional
ethics, Buddhist and aikido principles, and
ideas of human sponsorship.
