About the book
There was an epidemic of mental ill health before the pandemic. Now it is exponentially worse. At the same time, there have never been more mental health professionals and practices. This contradiction is the background to Jan Resnick’s masterpiece, which uses theory, discussion, and case studies to show what is central to therapeutic practice.

What others have to say
A truly wise book on love…
Information is plentiful and cheap these days, but wisdom is rare and priceless. Jan Resnick has written a truly wise book on love. Instead of the glib slogans of self-help gurus or the charmless findings of happiness researchers, he offers profound, modest, witty and useful reflections on the mystery that is love. Only someone with years of experience helping couples in all stages of being together and coming apart could have written a work of this depth and complexity. I recommend it to anyone who has ever been in love, wanted to be in love, lost a love, or suffered for love.

A thrilling and thought provoking plunge…
Jan Resnick’s HOW Two LOVE is a joy to read. Both pertinent in topic and highly accessible in style, it rewards its readers with themes and ideas – and very vivid vignettes – that create an immediate sense of recognition and connection while at the same time provoking intriguingly novel perspectives. A thrilling and thought-provoking plunge into the mysteries and possibilities of co-sexuality.
