Pagina 162 - The primary word I-Thou can only be spoken with the whole being. The primary word I-It can never be spoken with the whole being.
Pagina 120 - My research suggests that men and women may speak different languages that they assume are the same, using similar words to encode disparate experiences of self and social relationships. Because these languages share an overlapping moral vocabulary, they contain a propensity for systematic mistranslation, creating misunderstandings which impede communication and limit the potential for cooperation and care in relationships.
Pagina 18 - ... becomes clear: the mates are intensely bound together psychologically in important life matters. Their sharing and their togetherness is genuine. It provides the life essence for both man and woman. The things we do together aren't fun intrinsically — the ecstasy comes from being together in the doing. Take her out of the picture and I wouldn't give a damn for the boat, the lake, or any of the fun that goes on out there.
Pagina 120 - In interpathy, the process of knowing and "feeling with" requires that one temporarily believe what the other believes, see as the other sees, value what the other values. In interpathy, I seek to learn a foreign belief, take a foreign perspective, base my thought on a foreign assumption, and feel the resultant feelings and their consequences in a foreign context.

Pagina 13 - When I make a decision, it is the concrete totality of everything that constitutes my being which decides, not an epistemological subject. This refers to body structure, psychic strivings, spiritual character. It includes the communities to which I belong, the past unremembered and remembered, the environment which has shaped me, the world which has made an impact on me.

Pagina 33 - Stone has made the compelling argument that pastors have no reason to feel that their counseling interventions are less effective than the longer-term counsel-ing done by other mental health professionals. In Stone's book on shortterm counseling he asserts: The viewpoint presented in this book is that brief pastoral counsel-ing methods, for most people encountered in the parish, are not only as good as longer methods but are actually better because they take less time and are equally effective. This...
Pagina 25 - Only he who himself turns to the other human being and opens himself to him receives the world in him. Only the being whose otherness, accepted by my being, lives and faces me in the whole compression of existence, brings the radiance of eternity to me. Only when two say to one another with all that they are, "It is Thou", is the indwelling of the Present Being between them.
Pagina 132 - It is estimated that in one out of two marriages at least one incident of violence, probably more, will occur. In one out of five marriages the violence will be ongoing, with five or more incidents per year. At the extreme, episodes will happen monthly, weekly, or even more fre-quently.
