Making
Relationships Work
This book is a primer
about the basics of interpersonal functioning and the power of
Imago Relationship Therapy for building trust and intimacy in
close relationships.
It is useful for those
considering therapy to resolve relationship problems and to learn
how to communicate safely with each other.
It makes clear what
makes relationships go sour and what makes relationships go right,
and what is necessary to learn to apply those principles in your
own relationships.
Here is a readable
discussion of listening and understanding as essential elements
of a lasting relationship, and how Relationship Therapy is an
effective tool to accomplish those objectives.
