Book Reviews of the Getting the Love You Want Workbook: The New Couples' Study Guide
Customer Review: Growth is potentially risky
Summary: 5 Stars
This is, in part a response to the review by Abashed. As someone who has done both self-directed couple growth exercises and counselor directed exercises, I can say that the book probably needs to be used with a degree of caution. I certainly intend to buy and use a copy. BUT, I am aware that if, as we use the exercises, a potential problem starts to surface -- then it is time to seek a professional who is trained in Imago therapy.
For most couples, the exercises in this book are likely to be a source of growth and joy. But if you start to find something else please try to find assistance.
Any self-help book in the field of psychology has this potential pitfall. The growth process is seldom completely straight-forward.
Please note that I am not saying, "Don't buy this book." I believe that it may be a source of growth for many couples. I believe that Harville Hendrix has one of the best conceptual frameworks for relationship. What I am saying is that growth is risky, and that if you and your partner start to feel problems or less close, it may be time to seek professional assistance.
Good luck and good loving to all.
