Reviews

A writer and a therapist collaborate to offer advice on how to identify the sources of conflict in romantic relationships. The well-written lesson explains how early experiences with parents create expectations and reaction patterns that follow us into our adult relationships. The authors explain the dynamics of these patterns in practical language and offer a variety of tools to help people understand whats wrong with their individual operating style in a relationship. They discuss projections and the tendency to repeat patterns even when theyre painful, and offer a number of useful methods for dealing with these tendencies. Philip Van Munching handles the narration with professional ease and a conversational tone. Hes easy to hear from start to finish.
