How to expose the real issues of any conflict

The Conflict Between Us Is The Conflict Within Me is an important and insightful addition to any personal or academic psychology, conflict resolution, or self-help studies reading list. Readers will learn how to expose the real issues of any conflict with which they are engaged; how to remove fault and blame from their analysis of a conflict; how to stop being a victim; how to achieve new insights by changing perceptions; how to understand failures and thereby laying the groundwork for success; and how to use the techniques of guided imagery in daily life for insight and healing. The Conflict Between Us Is The Conflict Within Me is further enhanced for the reader by the inclusion of a special guided imagery CD.

A Great Book on Relationships

The title says it all....A wonderful and insighful book about the discovery of Self. The only one we can change in ANY relationship is the Self. The Levitons present many tools to look into our own issues and see how problems with others are merely a reflection of problems within. They introduce the process of guided imagery as one of the tools in healing. The book includes a CD containing four actual imagery experiences which help illustrate the examples in the book. A "MUST READ" for anyone who wants to improve and enhance ALL their relationships, especially the one with themselves.

Making Sense of Love and Relationships

Charles and Patti Leviton have done it again! Their book helps couples, as well as therapists, understand the natural progression of all intimate relationships so a couple that is starting out, a couple who are mid way, or a couple in conflict, can ferret out what is "normal," and what is "conflictual," as they attempt to make their relationship work. It does take two to tango but as Leo Buscaglia used to say, "You can only give what you have." Until a person accepts his/her own masculine/feminine side, and recognizes where they are in the 6 stages of love (Romance, Exclusivity, Testing & Doubt, Resolution & Acceptance, Ethical Love, and Consummate Love), they most likely will mis-read their loved one's behavior, as well as their own, and prematurely end an intimate relationship that is in fact viable and full of hope. This is what the Leviton's try to help their readers with. In the tradition of Carl Jung, Leo Buscaglia, Robert Sternberg and Ellen Bader, I highly recommend this book!
