An essential read for all working with couples

Excellent read for those looking for a round summary of couple analytic work. I found it particularly easy to read and extremely well balanced.

[Evan Peters]

I find Mary Morgan‘s ideas extremely interesting and profound for conceptualizing couples. The book was definitely difficult to get through however, I’m thankful for its contents.
