Partnering: A New Kind of Relationship

by Hal Stone, Sidra Stone

Famed therapists Hal and Sidra Stone show readers how to turn their relationships into true "joint ventures" - ones in which partners balance their need for relationship with their need for individuality, relinquish judgment and criticism, improve their decision-making and communication abilities, celebrate their sensuality and sexuality, and include children in their lives without sacrificing their own relationship. The Stones' greatest contribution has been revealing the many selves that make up our personalities. In this book, they show how those selves impact our relationships, and they offer both general concepts and specific tips that will help couples of all kinds succeed.

Hal and Sidra Stone are pshychologists who use a psycho-spiritual approach to their work. The technique they use is coined "voice-dialogue". It deals with working with the multiple selves we all contain to develop an "aware ego". To the point and dramatically effective, at least for me.
