Summary
Jurg Willi: The Ecological Psychology of Love
Developing Together
An important book for understanding love, partner relationships and partner therapy by the famous Swiss psychotherapist and pioneer in the study of partner relationships, Jurg Willi. The basic idea of this author is that two people in a love relationship develop by influencing each other through the process of co-evolution. In the book, love is not equated with happiness, but rather with fulfillment and self-realization. Because a person cannot not suffer and not be alone. Personal maturation and development in adult life is not achieved in any other relationship as through a love relationship, but there is no relationship that can threaten personal well-being and mental and physical health as much as a love relationship that has become destructive. By breaking up a love relationship, one important chance is often not used, which is not to try to clarify the reasons for the failure and to learn something more for a new relationship. Reckoning with a failed relationship of a couple can represent a great gain for the personal development of a partner
Some of the topics concerning personal development in a love relationship are:
• How do we encourage each other to develop personally?
• Do we realize our personal potential better in relationships?
• Relationship ecology – How do the partner and the environment affect personal development?
• Sexuality of belonging or sexuality of passion?
• How do partners maintain the initial illusions - a collusive game?
A remarkable book about the self-realization of personality through a love relationship, by Dr. Jurgo Willi, a pioneer in the study of love relationships and the founder of ecological partner therapy.
