RECEIVING LOVE Transform Your Relationship by Letting Yourself Be Loved

The authors of the classic GETTING THE LOVE YOU WANT have been writing for years that early family experiences determine whom we marry and what we expect from them. Their "Imago" therapy provides structured communication scripts that allow spouses to say what they desire and what they can give in a relationship. Framing their advice with surprisingly candid personal revelations, the authors explain the difference between connected and isolated communication, and say that much of the alienation couples suffer with is due to an inability to accept love. After outlining this issue in detail, they offer exercises and advice couples can use to understand their individual and marriage issues. The incomparable Jack Garrett does his usual magic in helping this material unfold with grace and cohesion. T.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 06]
