Beyond the Power Struggle

by Susan M. Campbell

Dealing with differences in wants, values, personal styles, and preferences is an inescapable issue in every relationship. This book offers practical, user-friendly conflict resolution practices applicable to love, work, family, and friendship relationships. In it, you will discover "the seven dimensions of relating that create most conflict." You will take "the polar dimensions inventory" (quiz) where you will see why opposites often attract, but later repel. You'll understand why your particular personality style tends to attract certain types of conflict situations, and why the outer struggle people find themselves in usually mirrors and inner struggle occurring within both people. Reading case studies of typical relationship struggles, you'll learn helpful communication tips and tools that you can begin using right away to enjoy more harmony and growth in all your relationships.

[Bishop · Rating 4 out of 5]

A little new-agey sometimes, and not 100% applicable as it may have been when written, but has some parts that are surprisingly timeless and overall a good read.Much better than the couple's journey which seemed a little too woo.
