The Intimacy Paradox by Donald S Williamson

This acclaimed book addresses the struggle of adults to establish autonomy without sacrificing family connections.

'This fascinating and provocative book reflects a wide and deep understanding of systems ideasWilliamson asks the question: 'How does one leave home emotionally and yet remain lovingly connected with one's family of origin?'...His is a thought-provoking and controversial view...full of humor and clinical nuggets as well as profound ideas. - Monica McGoldrick, LCSW, PhD (h.c.)

'Any person who has ever seen or heard Don Williamson speak knows he is a master at melding his personal life with his theoretical and therapeutic work. In - The Intimacy Paradox, Williamson has succeeded in writing what he does so well in his presentations. This book is the authoritative work on the concept of personal authority in the family system.'

'An interesting, theoretically sophisticated, and useful guide.' - AFTA Newsletter

'Williamson is utterly persuasive when making the case that achieving wholeness of the self cannot be best built on separation of that self from the parents of origin ... He makes his points in a context of respect for the client, the client's spouse, and the client's parents albeit a context that is open to play and humor and not taking itself too seriously. Williamson not too seriously does very serious work.' - Contemporary Psychology
