78
In his book published in 1995, “Terrorist Love” which is unfortunately out of print, V.A. Miller describes, for the couples that he works with in therapy, a more and more frequent evolution: moving from a relationship of fusion which is supposed to satisfy all of one’s needs, towards a relationship of power, driven by anxiety, that he calls “”; this phenomenon, recently growing in numbers, would find its source in the transformations of contemporary society. This point of view is interesting, but the sociological analysis seems sketchy and his therapeutic propositions are not very exciting. However, they nevertheless allow us to consider new avenues of work for therapy with couples.
