Synopsis
Making Love, Playing Power: Men, Women, and the Rewards of Intimate Justice brings the cutting edge of relationship therapy to the mass market. Family therapist and organizational consultant Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio debunks superficial theories about communication styles and gender roles as he gets to the real reason so many relationships are in trouble — misuse of power. Making Love, Playing Power reveals how gender, race, sexual orientation, and money set the foundation for personal power, and how power as domination drives most conflicts whether between nations, interest groups, or individuals. Women will find Making Love, Playing Power uniquely inspiring and validating. Men will find it life-changing. This book shows how to reject the power of domination and realize the power of love. Dolan-Del Vecchio offers new and provocative “principles of love,” memorable case examples, and “action steps” that help readers make changes that bring lasting love.

08/06/2008: Dolan-Del Vecchio has written a superb book. Each of us who live in relationship with others should read this book. Dolan-Del Vecchio has given me a deeper understanding and perspective of myself and my behaviors towards others. This book made me look at how life in our culture paints men of all sexual orientations, skin-colors, socioeconomic statuses and backgrounds into a corner that makes it hard for us to demonstrate love to those we care most about. I learned a lot and recommend the book highly.

02/22/2008: The book was riveting! His use of case studies and examples more than adequately underscored his philosphical message. Men need to take note of this and the women whom they love will also benefit from this experience in personal growth.
