About this title

From Library Journal

The authors, a psychotherapist and a professional writer, employ a behavior therapy approach that acknowledges the distorting role of some preconscious and even unconscious processes in our everyday relationship problems. To help us gain a measure of self-esteem, they describe detailed alternative adaptive reactions to specific situations that induce us to re-enact our emotional victimization roles. The many true-life vignettes are apt and credible; each is followed by a personal devictimization program based on an integration of behavior therapy principles and psychoanalytic concepts of needs and blocked memories. Wide-ranging, practical, well-organizedthis is one self-help book that delivers. Highly recommended. William Abrams, Portland State Univ. Lib., Ore.
