Review

All of a sudden, while in the middle of conducting a therapy session, the psychologist thought to himself: "Has anybody noticed that this crap doesn't work?" He looked at the couple in front of him and realized that what he was telling them about the "nature of relationships" wasn't going to help them at all. The psychologist decided then and there to throw away the textbook theories, stop dispensing ineffectual advice and to "get real".

That was 15 years ago and the psychologist's fresh approach seems to have worked, not least of all for himself. His name is Dr Phillip C. McGraw. Chances are, you would've heard of him. He's Oprah's resident relationship expert. In his latest book, Relationship Rescue, McGraw promises to "tell you the truth about what you have to do to meet the needs of your partner, and exactly how to rebuild the foundation of your life so that you can have a fulfilling relationship."

But be warned. This is quite literally a self-help book. Reading it takes effort and commitment. By including countless tests and questionnaires, Dr McGraw expects the reader to take an active role from beginning to end. "While the focus of this book is rescuing your relationship and reconnecting with your partner, the vehicle to achieving that is you." So, if you're really serious about wanting to repair your relationship, pull your finger out and flick it through the pages of this book. --Christopher Kelly
