Betty Berzon PhD

"I have inserted my voice here because I want you to know that I do not write from a lofty place, knowing it all, immune to the real problems of maintaining love and commitment. I've been there. I know how hard it can be."

Betty Berzon, 1996, from The Intimacy Dance: A Guide to Long-Term Success in Gay and Lesbian Relationships
