| Abstract
|
:
|
Beverly Engel dispels the silence surrounding the Disappearing Woman Syndrome: a pervasive and disturbing syndrome that affects seventy-five percent of all women. Loving Him without Losing You presents the first compelling, contemporary examination of the reasons why so many women lose themselves in their romantic relationships with men - and offers a straightforward program that women can use to free themselves from the powerful grip of this all-too-common problem.
