In her latest book, Broken-heartedness: Towards love in professional practice, Dyann shares her personal story interwoven with robust analyses of the causes of broken-heartedness. Evolving from this, she posits her theory – and practice – of love, as an indispensable force for addressing and working with broken-heartedness proven significant from her career as a social worker. She writes that whatever the situation – lovelessness, violence, injustice – the answer is love, and its application is both vital and within reach.
