INTIMATE SECRETS: Which to Keep and Which to Tell

by Karen Blaker ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 5, 1986

The host of a successful radio talk show in New York, the author is an experienced therapist and a practical one. Here she analyzes the role secrets play in our lives and how they can help or hurt us. Like most pop-psychers, this one has the usual ratings, checklists, scales, scores, etc. Fortunately, the author also has some perceptive things to say and provides real insight. Even her ""games"" make sense. Full of pertinent anecdotes and relevant clinical experience, it should help people explore their relationships by examining the way in which they handle secrets. She believes that people can develop ""secret savvy"" and that this will make their lives more enjoyable and fruitful. Blaker is convinced that personal, business and professional relationships will benefit from learning about secrets. Her persuasive case: don't tell all, pick your audience and experiment a bit. Good advice for people who need to rework their communication system.
