I am a psychology mayor so I have read my fair share of books. Never, however, have I read anything like Harville's book. It has taught me a new way of viewing not only my patient's lives, but mainly mine. He taught me ways of discovering hidden things about my self from birth to my adult life, as well as how to guide others into doing the same. He gives the directions to the exercises he himself would conduct during a therapy session. I have looked up the "Imago therapy"- which is what this book is about, and have actually enlisted myself for a seminar. That is how much this book has changed my perspective on everything, and I know it will do the same for you. This is a book everyone should read, whether you're in a relationship or not. This book will teach you about how your children are affected with your actions, how to commence in a good relationship, how we choose our partners and how to choose the "right" one, what to do with a failing marriage, and what to do when it is at its peak. All of those things plus much more are explained in full detail. This book is guaranteed to touch whatever it is that you are going through.Read full review
What an amazing book! It centres around the premise that we choose our mates based upon their similarity to our childhood caregivers. It completely made sense to me and opened up my eyes and my heart to the idea that the healing is absolutely possible, if we learn how to help heal our partners in return. A win-win situation if I ever heard one! I can't recommend this book enough, especially since the couple who suggested that I read it is obviously in a wonderful, nurturing relationship. Whether you are single, dating or in a committed relationship, this book is a great way to open your mind to the possibilities.
This is a great book for helping couples understand one another. It is based on subconscious wiring from childhood, and sheds light on behaviors and needs of individuals. Although it is written for couples, it could be beneficial for individuals that are looking to be in a committed relationship as well.

The theory of selecting a mate based on unresolved conflict with those who reared us is fascinating. However, there are leaps made to some conclusions that seem exclusionary of other options that may be equally viable.
