Paperback. Condizione: Fair. Behind everyday marital conflict lies the unresolved past. Here is a compassionate roadmap for transforming how partners love. Focusing on the author's own marriage and on a group of case studies, this book vividly illustrates the obstacles married couples face today and offers help in overcoming them. Dr. Napier investigates the unspoken rules learned in childhood families, showing how unresolved loyalties drive repetitive cycles of pursuit and distance. Through detailed case studies from The Family Workshop in Atlanta, the text demonstrates how partners dismantle defensive barriers. Couples learn practical frameworks for negotiating domestic equity, confronting hidden grief, and cultivating enduring intimacy. Conflict Resolution: Discover how a clash over two wobbly card tables--one serving as a permanent desk, the other repeatedly cleared for dinner--exposed deeply entrenched assumptions about marital fairness. Relationship Advice: Examine the pursuit-distance dynamic through case studies like Thomas and Joyce Olson, where one spouse escapes into television and laboratory research while the other demands verbal connection. Communication Skills: Master structured rules for productive arguments, from framing non-blaming requests to replacing defensive justifications with active, empathic listening. Family Therapy: Observe how techniques like Albert Pesso's Psychomotor therapy use physical role-players and symbolic structures to safely release long-buried childhood rage without assaulting actual parents.…
