Synopsis

In an easy to understand way, KNOW YOURSELF, KNOW YOUR PARTNER explains that we are all composed of three psychological elements, which are the Parent, Adult and Child. Each of these items has a separate part to play in what we believe, how we behave and in what we expect from others. The ideal is the perfect balance of Parent, Adult and Child, and the aim of the book is to help us understand these concepts and work to improve them so that each one of these aspects of our nature work perfectly.

Many of us are damaged in one way or another and in some part of our psyche, and this may be part of the nature that we were born with or by the damage done by our parents and by the society in which we grew up and in which we have to live our lives. Some of this damage occurred even before we were born, while other problems beset us throughout life.
