Sweet Sorrow: Love, Loss and Attachment in Human Life

Author(s) : Alan B. Eppel

Reviews and Endorsements

'This stimulating book weaves together coherently many different strands to illuminate one of the most fundamental of human themes in an original way. Material from clinical psychiatry and psychoanalysis, literature, art, music, biology and neuroscience is presented clearly, without the obscure language such subjects may provoke, and discussed in the context of a set of eleven core propositions. The book will be accessible and interesting to a wide readership both within and outside the above disciplines, bringing together otherwise scattered information as well as provocative ideas. In addition, case vignettes add meaning on a more personal level.'
- Dr David Abrahamson MBE, FRCPsych, FRCPI, Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, London
