Publisher's Summary

In Getting the Love You Want, Dr. Harville Hendrix presents the relationship skills that have already helped hundreds of thousands of couples to replace confrontation and criticism with a healing process of mutual growth and support. 

This extraordinarily practical guide describes the revolutionary technique of Imago Relationship Therapy, which combines a number of disciplines - including the behavioral sciences, depth psychology, cognitive therapy, and Gestalt therapy, among others - to create a program to resolve conflict and renew communication and passion. 

In a new chapter and afterword, we learn the key ways in which Imago Therapy - now practiced by more than two thousand therapists worldwide - can be used to help couples eliminate all negativity from their daily interactions. 

This fundamental change has proven invaluable in couples' therapy, and the importance of eliminating negativity has been integrated throughout the text, allowing listeners of the 2008 edition to benefit from Dr. Hendrix's ongoing discoveries during his last two decades of work.

strictly for already failed marriages

Struggled to finish. A lot activities included but you need to firmly believe the premise that your parents messed you up for any of them to be effective. Also, not much preventative advice. so if you're looking for ways of getting the love you deserve before you get the love you don't.... don't listen to this book.

This was a great listen that opened my eyes to a new set of lenses when considering the experiences of my partner.
