Intimate Relationships: Qualitative Data About Rewards and Advantages of Intimacy
Intimate Relationships: Qualitative Data About rewards and advantages of intimacy; the problems and disadvantages of intimacy; personal stumbling blocks that keep individuals from developing intimacy; personal qualities you have that facilitate intimacy; qualities you look for in an intimate relationship; intimacy in relationship to a person’s control profile (see controlresearch.net) e.g., their modes of control (assertive/accepting); their need/desire for control; their freedom reflex, their ability to surrender, trust, forgive. (This qualitative data comes from respondents attending a Mental Health Conference on the Psychology Of Health Care: Taking charge of your own life: how to do it, how to teach it” in Seattle and Chicago.
Parent/Child: Family Communication Workbook; and Couples Workbook
These are workbooks/workshops that Johanna and I created for:
Hope you may find them helpful.
Comment in 2023 from Johanna and Deane rereading this:
We wrote these workbooks and first gave these classes in the early 1970’s at the start of our career. It is interesting to look at them, now, fifty years later. We are struck by a couple of things. One is how well they hold up as a foundational “blueprint” and incorporate some “timeless” truths in these areas
The second thing we are struck by is our Chutzpah! 🙂 When we put these together, we were in the early years (3-5) of our marriage. And we didn’t yet have children! (One on the way 🙂 ). Still, this material did provide a good framework for us in our own relationship, and with our children when they came along. Was raising kids (now 41, 47, and 49) and living a now 53 year marriage always simple? NO! Is our relationship with our children (and now six grandchildren) and with each other, the great blessing in our life? Absolutely. Very grateful.

Transformation, Love, And Spiritual Wisdom
by Deane H. Shapiro, Jr., Ph.D.
Transformation, Love, And Spiritual Wisdom: Giving and Receiving: 7 lessons from breath and sense of control. From gratefulness at first in breath to imagining the letting go of the final outbreath. Below is the Sharing given at Yom Kippur at University Synagogue, 2004, followed by a tape of the talk.
Introduction and overview of the talk
“I cannot thank you enough for a superbly, sublime, spiritual experience.” —Rabbi Arnie Rachlis
“I spend much of my time trying to support the Rabbi and the congregants rushing around. I am happy and proud to do this. But for the hour I spent with you today listening and receiving, I am truly grateful. The comments after you “quietly slipped out” after the talk were remarkable. So many were touched and genuinely moved. Again our thanks,” —Carol Richmond, President, University Synagogue
“Loved how you used the different dimensions of breath as a metaphor for moving through life with balance and equanimity…beautiful” —John Astin
