| Summary |
"This book uncovers the existence of unconscious communications in our small talk that possess a remarkable potential to emotionally cure. When we are engaged in any prolonged spontaneous communications, we can unconsciously meet our most basic emotional need and rid ourselves of a most troublesome unconscious entity that is a part - and often a major part - of any emotional problem we might have."--BOOK JACKET |
