Clean, fresh, sharp, essentially, flawless book and dust jacket save very mild and light shelf wear, and save previous owner's name inscribed inside first free front-end paper bottom corner. Synopsis: Famous for helping people get real" about relationship (and many other) issues, Phillip C. McGraw, Ph.D., Oprah Winfrey contemporary and famed "Dr. Phil" of TV fame, as well as a psychologist with over 30 years of experience, explores ways that couples can turn their partnerships into success stories. An epiphany while counseling a dysfunctional couple led McGraw to rethink and revamp his counseling style and move away from conventional wisdom on couple therapy. Based on his observations of thousands of real couples (rather than his considerable book-learning), this program offers straight talk that will enable readers to take charge of their relationships, their futures, and their lives. McGraw offers a seven-step method for individual and joint self-exploration, learning together, and working toward the optimum relationship of which so many have dreamed. He offers plenty of hard work, including questionnaires, profiles, and surveys, before presenting a specific two-week curriculum for growing closer. Couples with a desire to restore their intimacy, or avoid losing it in the first place, will find a goldmine of help and information in this refreshing, no-nonsense guide. Amazon Review: As a follow-up to his bestselling book, Life Strategies, Oprah acolyte Phillip C. McGraw, Ph.D., moves from aiding the aimless individual to coaching the disconnected couple. McGraw has distilled his more than two decades of counseling experience into a seven-step strategy he calls 'Relationship Rescue.' 'I'm prepared to kick a hole in the wall of the pain-ridden, unhappy maze you've gotten yourself into, and provide you clear access to action-oriented answers and instructions on what you must do to have what you want' says Dr. Phil. His aim is to expose and eliminate the saboteurs that cause senseless damage to already-fragile marriages, and, like an emotional root canal, to replace them with values he says provide positive results. If you follow Dr. Phil's strategy, he will lead you on a precise journey to uncover your heart and then share it with your partner as part of taking the 'risk of intimacy.' Dr. Phil leads you to reconnect with your core in the first five steps of his seven-step strategy. By no means a quick fix, there are in-depth and rigorous questionnaires, surveys, tests, and profiles that require a 'brutally candid' mindset, with such fill-in-the-blanks as List five things that today would make you fall out of love with your partner. With this internal work accomplished, you'll then move on to reconnecting with your partner during a two-week, half-hour-a-day short course. As a 'dyad,' you and your loved one take turns giving monologues on topics such as 'The most positive thing I took away from my mother and father's relationship was.' Once the "econnection has been established, Dr. Phil says the work shifts to a management role, as relationships are always a work in progress. Dr. Phil humorously refers to his own marriage throughout the book, sharing his mishaps and victories in learning to accept and enjoy what he sees as fundamental but complementary differences between men and women. From Publishers Weekly: Oprah's relationship expert and the author of the hugely popular Life Strategies, McGraw offers a challenge to readers in troubled marriages. (Though he refers to 'relationships,' his comments about the roles of men and women make it obvious that McGraw has mostly traditional marriages in mind.) With typical frankness, the Dallas psychologist declares that the underlying reason that 'your relationship is in trouble [is] because you set it up that way.' Traditional relationship counseling doesn't work, McGraw says, so he dares readers to follow his multistep plan for reconnecting, which de.…
