Mapping the Terrain of the Heart is an eloquent guide through loves diverse landscapes that provides a whole new way to think about love relationships. Both descriptive and prescriptive, it is a book for anyone looking to experience a committed relationship full of passion and tenderness.In the labyrinth of love, every one of us has his or her own inner map. Psychologists Goldbart and Wallin lead us along the metaphorical superhighways on the map of love by charting six easily grasped skillsthe six capacities of lovethat are all necessary to a longterm, stable love relationship: the capacities for erotic involvement, for merging, for idealization, for integration, for refinding, and for selftranscendence. The authors demonstrate in a very practical, handson way how individuals and couples can use these capacities to work on breaking down their usual defenses and grow toward a deeper understanding and connection.In defending ourselves against disappointment in love, we frequentlyand often unknowinglythrow up obstacles, create roadblocks, and take detours around these six capacities. We think such detours will take us where we want to go in a relationship, but too often they do not.
