Reviews
Josiane Apollon's book, Compassionate Love in Intimate Relationships, is of major importance at this time in history. [...] Josiane seamlessly weaves together a unified tapestry of the Systems Theories, Essentialism, the LINC method and Encounter-centered Couples Therapy, all of them under the umbrella of the Appreciative Inquiry model. [...] A particular highlight is how she conducts appreciative interviews using the EcCT model, teaching couples to Cross the Bridge with curiosity, compassion and new eyes for the world of the other. [...] Also apparent is Josiane's laser sharp focus on what is life-giving and life-affirming in our human journey. I cannot think of a better time in history to embrace seven African American couples and give them an appreciative interview to highlight their generational strengths and resources. [...] Josiane's work becomes a guiding light towards the vision of a world where all people are dedicated to the achievement of relational maturity. -- Hedy Schleifer, International Relationship Builder, Washington D.C, USA The world needs more work on love intimacy like Josiane's academic book to elevate the vibrational energy of humanity for the greater good of all. Since we are all connected, indeed it is essential to understand the strongest force of love in the universe to heal and flourish in all our relationships. Josiane's book is a true invitation for integration between our spirit, mind, body on the path of wholeness. -- Mantak Chia, Founder of Universal Healing Tao, Chiang Mai, Thailand
