Now, in his superbly written new book, he focuses his intelligent, compassionate eye on the complexities of partnerships and why intimacy is so difficult for us. With the art of a novelist and the skill of a brilliant psychiatrist, Kramer addresses advice seekers struggling with such complex questions as: How do we choose our partners? How well do we know them? How do mood states affect our assessment of them and theirs of us? What does working on a relationship truly entail? When should we try to improve a relationship, and when should we leave? Equally at home with Shakespeare, Emerson, and Kierkegaard as it is with Freud and Jung, \u003cb\u003eShould You Leave\u003c\/b\u003e? is a literary tour de force from a uniquely insightful observer and a profoundly resonant and helpful approach to resolving dilemmas of the heart.\u003cp\u003eDr. Kramer was recently asked to guest host \u003cb\u003eThe Infinite Mind\u003c\/b\u003e, a weekly public radio show focusing on the art and science of the human mind and spirit, behavior, and mental health.
