The Power of Two Workbook teaches the communication and conflict resolution skills that can enable you to enjoy a great marriage. With this practical step-by-step guide you’ll learn how to evoke interest, not antagonism, when you speak about sensitive issues; and to listen without becoming defensive. You’ll discover secrets to effective dialogue, techniques for cleaning up after inadvertent "toxic spills," and ways to ensure that apologies yield healing—plus you’ll learn the three-step waltz of smooth shared decision-making, how to keep the anger ceiling low, and strategies for converting moments of anger into powerful opportunities for learning and growth.
With each chapter you’ll acquire key skills for a happier, more gratifying marriage. A host of engaging practice exercises give you a chance to repeat each skill often enough that it can become yours.

About the Author
Susan Heitler, Ph.D.,
Susan Heitler, a clinical psychologist in private practice in Denver, wrote her first book, David Decides About Thumbsucking, to help parents and children to end thumbsucking habits. In her second book, From Conflict to Resolution (1990), Dr. Heitler explained that conflicts can be handled in five main ways. Getting angry yields fights. Giving up yields depression. Doing nothing about a problem sustains anxiety and tension. Avoidance via distraction invites addictions and obsessive-compulsive disorders.
The fifth and by far the best option is collaborative problem-solving to create win-win solutions. Dr. Heitler's third book, The Power of Two, teaches win-win communication and problem-solving skills. This biography was provided by the author or their representative.

Dr. Heitler's third book, The Power of Two, teaches win-win communication and problem-solving skills. In addition, Dr. Heitler's audio CD's on anxiety, depression and couples' skills offer new perspectives for individuals who want to live more emotionally comfortable lives. Dr. Heitler's own family attests to the effectiveness of the techniques she writes about. She and her husband, married over 40 years, have successfully raised four children. The large extended family of which Dr. Heitler and her husband are now matriarch and patriarch includes 14 grandchildren who love to gather and play together.
Abigail Hirsch is a teacher and math curriculum writer who now is completing her Ph.D., as a clinical psychologist. She used her teaching and curriculum-development background to cocreate The Power of Two Marriage Skills Workshops and then this workbook, both of which augment the book The Power of Two, written by her mother, Dr. Susan Heitler. Abigail, her husband, and their two young sons live with Abigail’s paternal grandparents on a tree farm.
