MILL VALLEY, Calif. (PRWEB) October 07, 2012

Harry M. Overline, a clinical psychologist and author believes that his definition of love, how it is achieved and maintained will have a significantly positive effect on couples and individuals who, because they do not experience love in their lives, are living a very low-quality of life and one that will often manifest across a wide range of psychiatric disorders as well as criminal and unethical behaviors.In some cases, he thinks that the lack of love can end people’s lives which can be actualized by suicide or a negative impact in the immune system. His opinion is that love is a phenomenon that requires development rather than something that everyone falls into.

In The Journey to Love, Overline reviews the history of love among humans since they evolved from primates. Then, he integrates various contributions from several academic disciplines (i.e. philosophy, neurological evolution, physical/social sciences, parapsychology) with his personal and professional experiences as a Couple Counselor in Mill Valley, Calif.

Within the pages of this book, readers will also learn what activities are needed to achieve S.S.O.R (Successful Significant Other Relationship). Overline describes this as containing stages which include In Lust, Darth Vader, Silly Putty, Tolerance, and Ferrari. Assessment measures and exercises are also included in this book to enable readers to achieve S.S.O.R. in their lives.

The Journey to Love is one enjoyable read for individuals or couples who think they are in love. It helps and guides everyone to have a clearer understanding of the contemporary definition of love, create a positive feeling about this new type of love and achieve a truly loving relationship.
