Stephanie Dowrick

Intimacy and Solitude

Self-Therapy for Lasting Change

“[S]elf-help fare at its best” (Kirkus Reviews) that brings one closer to oneself in order to bring one closer to others.

Intimacy and Solitude is the international bestseller that helps you enjoy closeness with others, while maintaining a firm sense of independence. Using stories from her psychotherapy practice and her own life, Stephanie Dowrick shows how intimacy begins in discovering and trusting your own self, and then bringing that personal strength into one’s relationships with friends, family, and lovers.

“Remarkable. . . . In essence, Dowrick sees intimacy and solitude as different expressions of the same self, but to state her conclusions is to miss the fascination of her book as it unfolds.” —Genre

“Stephanie Dowrick captures the essential essence of what intimacy is all about....Intelligent, broadly informed.” —Marilyn J. Mason
