' ... this book is current, refined, and interesting not only for scholars, but for everyone who experiences relationships lacking a mutual self-recognition and who shares the same dissatisfaction-sometimes, the discomfort-of the protagonists of the narrated stories: the contemporary violation in emotions between the extremes of pure objectivity and subjectivity.' - Irene Psaroudakis, Symbolic Interaction
