Dating

Howard Ditkoff presents Choosing Intimate Partners: To Repeat or Not to Repeat? posted at SystemsThinker.com Blog, saying, "Why do we repeatedly attract similarly unhealthy intimate partners and relationship patterns?

In the midst of yet another challenging relationship, I deeply explore the unconscious roots and mechanisms of this “repetition compulsion” in the chemistry of our relationships. I also initiate a discussion about the dilemmas, paradoxes, catch-22’s, risks and rewards posed by two contrasting approaches to compatibility and conflict. In an era of dangerous polarizations and threats that demand engagement and resolution, it is a topic of great relevance to our families, society and world."
