Extraordinary Relationships: A New Way of Thinking About Human Interactions

16 reviews
Roberta Gilbert

Wiley, 1992

pigeon
This is a great book about a relatively new theory in psychology. The information in this book was not always easy to understand, but by applying what I learned and rereading, the book has truly opened my eyes to understanding people. This theory seeks to explain people and their actions according to their emotions. This is a great book about an incredible theory. I've recommeneded this book ...

David Richo

Shambhala, 2002

Best book on growing up I have ever read!
If you just want to get your way, then this book is not for you. I'm a 62 years old widower looking for a partner to share love with. We are both reading this book and working on our relationship in light of the loving mindfullness perspective. I think it makes all the difference and therefore, have purchased about 10 copies for my kids and friends. Some people may think it redundant and ...

John Gottman

Three Rivers Press, 2002

excellent, very insightful!
Read this book and share it with your partner if you can. It is so spot-on about communication, I really wish everyone would read it! The basic premise is explaining how we relate to each other and what happens when we don't respond in a way that potentiates that relationship. It's easy to understand, a great read. I especially recommend it if you are in a relationship that is not going well ...

The Book that hit home
I have gone to therapy and read different books to try to understand what I was going through, and my depression, even my divorce judge said mental and emotional abuse didnt exist, it wasn't domestic violence, but this was the first book that hit home. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship for 20 years, and even tho there was no physical abuse, I thought I was just in a bad ...

The Relationship Rescue Workbook

Phillip C. McGraw

Hyperion, 2000

You have to work to make it work
Its unfortunate that people buy a book to expect IT to fix the problems they have allowed to get out of hand or self create out of ignoring their spouse/partner. If you want a book to give you ideas, plans and a way to help YOU succeed in taking the positive steps to fixing or creating a better relationship then this IS the book to do it, but again- people tend to have problems with honesty even ...

The Long-Distance Relationship Survival Guide: Secrets And Strategies from Successful Couples Who Have Gone ...

Chris Bell, Kate Brauer-Bell

Ten Speed Press, 2006

Going the distance
I've been in a long distance relationship with a wonderful man for three years now. It came more easily to me than it did to him, as my father was in the military and constant moving made long distance connections with friends and relatives seem normal to me. It wasn't as smooth a situation for him, as he still lived in the very city where he had been born and never had to deal with absences that ...

Gary Goldschneider, Joost Elffers

Studio, 2003

Unique, Fascinating, and Useful
I've been "religiously" using this book as a reference ever since I stumbled upon it almost two years ago. Family, co-workers, women who I find attractive, friends, even enemies (if you think you have none, you may be kidding yourself LOL). I've looked them all up. Results? Spooky! Astonishing! Amazing! I'm not sure why certain people complain. Sure the book is general. A more specific study ...

RELATIONSHIP RESCUE: A SEVEN-STEP STRATEGY FOR RECONNECTING WITH YOUR PARTNER

105 reviews
Ph.d., Phillip C. Mcgraw

Hyperion, 2007

Not Bad
The Doctor focuses on The Reader, and hammers away at making the point again and again that it is The Reader, not their partner, that must embrace change and improvement. It's a strong book. I laughed at how he puts into light how good my relationship is by his standards of trouble. My reasons for buying and reading this book are the same as anyone's for buying a self-helper: uncharted territory ...

The Verbally Abusive Relationship: How to Recognize it and How to Respond

Patricia Evans

Adams Media, 2003

Instrumental in My Recovery
This book was instrumental in my recovery during and after divorce. It was given to me by a coworker who had read it and found it most helpful. I had no idea that verbal abuse was this prevalant in our society. The book really helped me gain insight into my ex husband and consistently provided me with reassurance that I made the right decision to leave the relationship. Please consider purchasing ...

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2006

Useful Text with Personal Interest to Students
I have used this for a number of Marriage and Family classes. It combines theoretical materials with contemporary issues concerning relationships and everyday family life. Its academic enough to pass muster but also interesting and personal enough to keep the students' interest. I recommend it highly.

The Neuroscience of Human Relationships: Attachment and the Developing Social Brain

7 reviews
Louis Cozolino

W. W. Norton, 2006

Wonderfully readable synthesis of neuroscientific research
I am in a neuroscience book group composed of clinical psychologists and social workers that has been meeting for four years. We've read about 25 books in this group over the years. Much of it has been tough going. This and Cozolino's book, The Neuroscience of Psychotherapy, are two of the very best. They are comprehensive, clinically relevant, very well written, even entertaining. The clinical ...

Bruce Fisher

Impact Publishers, 2005

Worth every minute spent.
I am about 1/3 through this book and am finding it to be succinct, focused, relevant and exceptionally useful. The authors have done an amazing job distilling the essence of the work that one must do to recover from the loss of a love relationship, and why the work is necessary. I have already ordered it for a friend who is struggling mightily with his recent loss.

Relationships for Dummies

3 reviews
Kate M. Wachs

For Dummies, 2002

Good resource on relationships
This book is very well written. It is written in a way that both male and female can read it with comfort. Best of all, you do not have to read it from beginning to end. For instance, my girlfriend and I have been dating for awhile. One of my weaknesses is communication (especially with a girl). I skipped to Chapter 11, without having to know Chapters 1-10. Dr. Kate Wachs talks about almost ...

Authentic Relationships: Discover the Lost Art of One Anothering

7 reviews
Wayne Jacobsen, Clay Jacobsen

Baker Books, 2003

Indispensable resource
This is the best book that I have read detailing what relationships should look like in the church. Using examples from their own experiences and Christ, The Jacobsen brothers cleverly and thoroughly go through 22 verses in the Epistles that focus on the concept of "one anothering". The chapters are masterfully ordered to display the progression of relationship building. The first section ...
