Really enjoyed this read!
I think Dr. Franco’s writing is accessible while heavily research-based. I appreciate the narrative approach to exampling various attachment styles and relationship patterns. While I was hoping this would be a good rec for clients, I would likely want to prime them more on attachment work. However, Franco does present attachment styles simply and reflectively for the reader. Additionally, I appreciate her candid recognition of the limited data base while questioning historically prejudice perspectives on friendships between same sexes, opposite sexes, and various cultures.
Still favorite quotes:
Friendship is “The divine love shining through bodies…” (Franco)
“Intensity and intimacy are not the same.” (Franco)
Despite socially minimizing platonic relationships, “Friendship gives romantic love the energy it needs.” (Franco)
