About this title

About the Author:

LOVE HONOR & NEGOTIATE Betty Carter, M.S.W., is the cofounder and director of the Family Institute of Westchester, where she conducts a clinical practice. She has written numerous professional articles and books, received several professional awards, and is often quoted in Redbook, Family Circle, Cosmopolitan, and other national magazines.

From AudioFile:

Betty Carter practices "family systems" therapy, and, given the sane, sensible approach she proposes in this audio, she's bound to be successful with counseling couples. In a steady, modulated voice Carter discusses her philosophy about families' and individuals' ties to their families of origin. Her tone is reassuring, neither preachy nor boosterish. She presents a single, long example of working with a couple followed by specific discussions of work-family priorities and how money and power subtly and not so subtly control relationships. With warmth and practicality, Carter offers a focused discussion, easily grasped examples and candid suggestions. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
