DESCRIPTION:
All rights reserved. Written specifically for couples, author and columnist Van Munching (Boys Will Put You on a Pedestal So They can Look Up Your Skirt), along with practicing couples therapist Katz, gives a guided tour through the foundations of a healthy relationship, starting with the importance of self-awareness-a key component-and continuing through the process of reviving a romance. Utilizing common therapy jargon like "the relationship is the patient, not the individuals," and tried-and-true strategies like journaling, the text does resemble its predecessors and peers, but uses anecdotes and metaphors to elicit fresh insight, as in a comparison of the unconscious mind to a horror movie basement-a place where the answers lie, but no one ever wants to
Bernie Katz team up to show readers * how even our earliest childhood experiences dictate our relationship choices, * how the unconscious elements of our personalities both attract and repel the people we become romantically involved with (often at the same time!) *why breaking up is hard to do * how to use this insight to fix their relationships Dr. Katz's 25+ years of experience as a couples therapist informs this book, while Van Munching's solid sense of humor and conversational style brings readers a relationship book that is warm, funny, fascinating and readable..

Actually, It Is Your Parents' Fault: Why Your Romantic Relationship Isn't Working, and How to Fix It I bought this for my daughter. I also got a second copy for myself. I have not been able to start reading it, but I was intrigued by interviews the author gave. I am looking forward to enjoying it soon.. Simply Insightful This book gets down to the very necessary basics of relationships. I learned a lot. Very insightful and fun to read. Kudos to the author.. "Support for those that are looking for it." according to David H. Burkhardt. An excellent book. Well written and hits home to a lot of 'family of orign' issues. I facilitate a 'divorce recovery' program and gave a copy to each person in the group. It helped them in identifying their part in the broken relationship better. It also allows them to not blame as much as to take responsibility and work for increased personal growth.
