The Dance of Deception CD

Pretending and Truth-Telling in Women’s Lives

By Harriet Lerner

From sexual faking to family secrets, Dr. Harriet Lerner reveals how the struggle toward truth-telling is at the center of our deepest longings for intimacy, authenticity, and self-regard. Drawing on more than two decades of clinical experience, Dr. Lerner articulates her rich philosophy and thoughtful guidelines about speaking out and holding back. With the passion, humor, and clarity that have become her trademark, Lerner unravels the lies, secrets, and silence — our own and others’ — that affect our lives and teaches us how to widen the path to truth-telling for everyone.
