The Power of Discord

Why the Ups and Downs of Relationships are the Secret to Building Intimacy, Resilience, and Trust
Book • 2020
This book argues that discord in relationships is not only normal but essential for social and emotional development.

Drawing from Ed Tronick's 'still-face experiment' and Claudia Gold's clinical experience, it shows how the everyday dance of mismatch and repair in relationships helps form deep, lasting, trusting relationships and develops resilience in times of stress and trauma.

The authors emphasize that our highly evolved sense of self makes us separate, yet our survival depends on connection, and that working through relational turbulence is key to stronger relationships and a solid sense of self.
