When Opposites Attract: Right Brain/left Brain Relationships and how to Make Them Work

Rebecca Cutter

Dutton, 1994 - Family & Relationships - 285 pages

Why do some couples seem so well-matched, while others live in a constant state of turmoil, struggling to communicate and even questioning the viability of their relationship? Rebecca Cutter boldly calls a cease-fire in the gender wars to present fresh new solutions to age-old problems of communication and intimacy--based on differences in brain dominance.
