Product Description
by Ariel S. Compton MD (Author)
Couples' Therapy: A Do-It-Yourself Guide to a Better Relationship is written to help the many couples who struggle on their own to make their relationships a success. Drawing from her training as a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, her many years as a therapist, and her own personal experience as a woman, Dr. Compton takes you through a therapy hour just as if you were in a session with her. Although Couples' Therapy is meant primarily as an aid in dealing with everyday problems, it also can be used as an intermediary step for more serious problems. And if professional help is needed but not affordable or available, it can provide an opportunity to work on the problem yourself. If you, as a couple, are looking to "live happily ever after," Couples' Therapy is a good place to begin. Give it a try. You have little to lose and much to gain.
