Like a Movie: Contemporary Relationships Without the Popcorn
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Like a Movie uses films as a stepping stone, window and metaphor to explore fundamental interpersonal issues. And what better metaphor than images over 60 feet high, elevated to the status of pop icon, that mirror and beckon us from every nook and cranny of our image-loving, surface worshiping culture?
From the Inside Flap
"Move over Eric Berne's Games People Play! And welcome to the first book in decades to put the day to day frustrations, arguments, power plays, and social manipulations to which we all are treated to by friends, lovers, bosses, and spouses, under a big magnifying lens. There, to our delight, they are ruthlessly dissected, while we say, "Yes, yes; it's true; it's true!" How is it possible that we humans treat each other in such strange ways!" -Allan Combs, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, University of North Carolina and author of The Radiance of Being
"Gerald Alper never writes dull books. A novelist and short story writer turned psychotherapist, he has one of the more creative analytic minds of his generation." -Jerome David Levin, Ph.D., Faculty Supervisor, Post-Graduate Center for Mental Health, New York, and author of The Clinton Syndrome
