In Getting the Love You Want, Dr. Harville Hendrix
presents the relationship skills that have already helped
hundreds of thousands of couples to replace confrontation
and criticism with a healing process of mutual growth and
support. This extraordinary practical guide describes the
revolutionary technique of Imago Relationship Therapy, which
combines a number of disciplines--including the behavioral
sciences, depth psychology, cognitive therapy, and Gestalt
therapy, among others-- to create a program to resolve
conflict and renew communication and passion.
Getting the Love You Want describes the three
stages of intimate relationships, provides illustrative case
studies and gives helpful recommendations to overcome the
obstacles in those stages to create a stronger bond between
couples. First, he chronicles the stages of most
relationships-attraction, romantic love and the power
struggle-and suggests ways for partners to identify the
conflicts associated with each of them. Then, he explores
methods for achieving a "Conscious Marriage," where the
early phases of romance are rekindled and confrontation is
slowly replaced by growth and support. Finally, Dr. Hendrix
incorporates these ideas into a unique therapeutic course,
offering a series of proven exercises that lead to insight,
resolution and revitalization. Step by step, he describes
how to communicate with greater accuracy and sensitivity,
how to let go of self-defeating behaviors, and how to focus
energy on meeting each partners' needs.
With
Getting the Love You Want couples in any stage of a
relationship can resolve their conflicts and achieve mutual
emotional satisfaction.
