With half of all marriages in the United States still ending in divorce, it's clear that an enormous number of couples need help with conflict skills. The theory of schemas is a fresh new approach to interpersonal relationships with a powerful potential for producing lasting change. Why are satisfying relationships so elusive? And why do so many couples fall into patterns of repetitive conflict? In this book, psychologist Maureen Kirby Lassen explains how our mental models about the world can short-circuit our relationships. The schemas she describes function like personal theories of reality that influence the ways we interact with others and respond in different situations. Use this book to learn how to become your own relationship expert.
