Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love |
|
| |
Dr. Sue Johnson |
|
| |
|
|
| |
This is the newly published book for couples written by Dr. Sue Johnson, creator of EFT, a powerful approach to couples therapy that is very similar to Imago. I have recently trained in this model and am extremely excited about the idea of adding the depth of intimacy that EFT brings with all that Imago has to offer. |

Divorce
Remedy by Michelle Weiner-Davis |
|
| |
|
|
| |
This
one is hands down, the most effective book available for those
trying to single handedly save a marriage or relationship!
If this describes you in any way, do not pass go, do not collect
your $200 - go immediately (as in today/tonight)
and buy this book. You will soon be thanking me. Contrary to popular opinion, one person can change a relationship!
Truthfully, this is a terrific book for all couples.
Don't get hung up on the name. It's a pragmatic,
solution oriented book, and as such, is a gold mine for everyone
who has tried everything they can think of to break out of
an on-going power struggle without success.
Two cautions:
1) Do NOT buy Divorce
Busting, Michelle's original best seller.
Divorce Remedy
is a much improved re-write that can be purchased on Amazon, if not
available at the store.
2) If you are the only or main one in your relationship dedicated to saving the relationship, this book is FOR YOUR EYES ONLY. At least for right now. If you follow this book exactly as prescribed, you could get lucky down the road and keep your partner from leaving. At that point, your partner, too, can read it. But that's a ways a way. At this stage, you have to be willing to be the one to tip the first (and 2nd and third) dominos. Good luck!

Getting
the Love You Want Workbook |
|
| |
Harville Hendrix, Ph.D.
and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Phd. |
|
| |
This is the
companion workbook that goes with Getting
the Love You Want.
If you are absolutely not going to attend an Imago workshop, then I highly recommend buying two copies of this book so that you can benefit from the rich exercises Imago has to offer. |

his unique insights into the way men work, (and why), into a
guide for 21st century relationships that work! |

based upon years of serious scientific study with thousands
of couples at the University of Washington. |

Definitely not a beginner's manual, but highly
recommended for adults who are serious about taking their sexual
relationship (and more) to the next level! A
terrific book for those interested in learning how to become
more "themselves". |

Getting the Sex You Want: Shed Your Inhibitions and Reach New Heights of Passion Together |
|

Tammy Nelson |
|
| |
A new, great book by an Imago therapist who is also a highly experienced sex therapist. |

The
New Male Sexuality (Revised Edition) |
|
| |
Bernard Zilbergeld,
Ph.D. |
|
| |
|
| |
Despite the
title, this book has actually been around a long time. Most
trained sex therapists have used it as the "bible"
on male sexuality (for heterosexual males in a committed love
relationship). Though sexual norms have changed a lot
in the last 10 or so years, this is still one of the best and
most authoritative books available for men and their partners
on male sexuality. |
|

|

Sexual
Awareness: Couple Sexuality for the Twenty-First Century |
|
| |
Barry McCarthy
and Emily McCarthy |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Although I have not read
this particular book, I have high respect for Dr. McCarthy
and believe you will find any and all of his books extremely
lucid, authoritative and helpful. His approach is down-to-earth
approach embodies the best and latest of traditional sex therapy
research and practice. |
