Foreword
"This book offers ’power tools’ for couples who want to look deeply
at themselves and their relationship. The authors go a lot deeper
than routine techniques of marital communication--they get to the
heart of the matter. And so will you if you read, digest, and
practice what this books offers."-- William J. Doherty, PhD,
Professor of Family Social Science at the University of Minnesota,
USA and Author of Take Back Your Marriage
"At last a workbook for couples that faithfully mirrors the process
of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). It's like having 2 master EFT
therapists come home with you during the week to support and guide
you to maintain the progress you make in therapy sessions and
improve your relationship more quickly. In-depth explanations and
reflective exercises will help you to explore your emotions,
articulate them better for yourself, and express them to your
partner. I will recommend this workbook to every one of the couples
in my practice!" -- Marlene Best, PhD, Clinical Professor in
Clinical Psychology, University of Ottawa, Canada; Certified EFT
Therapist, Supervisor & Trainer "This workbook, based on
Emotionally Focused Therapy, includes excellent exercises that
focus on helping couples create positive communication patterns in
place of the destructive ones that negatively affect their
relationships. Drawing on extensive research and clinical
experience, this book will help couples strengthen their trust in
one another as well as heal past hurts. I recommend it for use in
marriage enrichment groups, as well as by individual couples."
