{"product_id":"9780679759430","title":"The Birth of Pleasure: A New Map of Love","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarol Gilligan, whose classic \u003cb\u003eIn a Different Voice\u003c\/b\u003e revolutionized the study of human psychology, now offers a brilliant, provocative book about love. Why is love so often associated with tragedy, she asks. Why are our experiences of pleasure so often shadowed by loss? And can we change these patterns?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGilligan observes children at play and adult couples in therapy and discovers that the roots of a more hopeful view of love are all around us. She finds evidence in new psychological research and traces a path leading from the myth of Psyche and Cupid through Shakespeare’s plays and Freud’s case histories, to Anne Frank’s diaries and contemporary novels. Groundbreaking and immensely readable, \u003cb\u003eThe Birth of Pleasure\u003c\/b\u003e has powerful implications for the way we live and love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47024736370928,"sku":"9780679759430","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780679759430_p0.jpg?v=1763607227","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780679759430","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
