by William Pietsch

253 pages; quality trade paperback (softcover); catalogue #00-0033; ISBN 1-55212-369-3; US$21.95, C$23.00, EUR15.59, £10.34

This is a very readable and practical handbook about how to improve a relationship.

About the Book

Even when a person is inspired to change, it is not always clear how to go about it. This book explains how to improve a relationship, and how to solve specific problems.

What is unique about the book is the use of line drawings that make clear what is actually happening within each person when a difference occurs.

Specific steps describe in detail how to make changes in the relationship, and reach creative solutions to problems.

A Check List For Problem Solving is included.

Realistic dialogues demonstrate the responses that bring about both a better understanding of the other person, and insight into ourselves.
