ANTIMETΩΠIZONTAΣ TO XΩPIΣMO
Coping with Separation
From Despair to Growth
1rst edition, 1982 - 13th Printing

Dr. Pinteri's first book that also established him as an author.
Separation is not just an isolated incident in a person's life. It is a process. The book gives a detailed description of the stages that people who separate go through. Taking into consideration that, in most separations, there is someone who leaves and someone left behind, the book examines each of these two roles separately.
Based on the author's personal experience, this is a very realistic and at the same time optimistic book that gives the separating person hope for a better tomorrow.
A CLASSIC OF ITS KIND.
