"Do I Stay of Do I Go?" addresses the responsibility one faces when confronted with challenges to their own relationship. When what appear to be insurmountable obstacles, Dr. Occhetti empowers readers to be honest in recongnizing pitfalls, choosing carefully the professionals who one goes to for help, and assessing the path(s) that need to be taken to save an important relationship or recognize and accept the path that is leading nowhere.

Knowledge is power and Dr. Occhetti provides the tools that can inform and motivate, while making it clear that the key to making successful decisions about staying or going is the reader themself.
