GETTING THE LOVE YOU WANT A Guide for Couples, 20th Anniversary Edition

A revision of a twenty-year-old classic offers insights on love attachments and powerful exercises for couples. The author's approach to couples therapy says that when people work through their childhood disappointments, they can connect with their partners more happily and securely. Building on a rich foundation of ideas about the emotional and cultural contexts of good partnerships, the author teaches communication skills that promote emotional safety, fix common dysfunctions, and allow people to become more giving with each other. Jack Garrett's vocal quality and nuanced dramatic skills are perfect for the emotional narrative as well as its prescriptive aspects. His genuine interpretation is steady enough to provide continuity and varied enough to keep listeners engaged throughout. T.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2008]
