5.0 out of 5 starsSuper Resource for Couples!
By Paradox10 on February 18, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This book was recommended to me to use with the families I work with who are under great stress. The book is exactly what they need. I love the author's voice, I have read her other books. She always sounds like she is speaking directly to me. There are wonderful practical suggestions in the book, but mostly, it's extremely reassuring and hopeful for couples who are struggling in any way. I found myself thinking about my own marriage while reading it on behalf of my clients. It is truly a wonderful and important resource. She seems to know exactly what couples need to hear. I highly recommend this as well as her other books.

4.0 out of 5 starsRelatable and Easy Read for anyone looking to improve their marriage.
By Lindsay Sutton-D'Ascoli on April 17, 2015
Format: Paperback
There are lots of books geared towards helping women recover from postpartum but not many that focus on the rebuilding or reclaiming of a marriage affected by postpartum depression like Tokens of Affections does. As a therapist and a woman of two small children, I appreciated the way Karen Kleiman and Amy Wenzel broke down what could be seen as complex ideas into bulleted key areas that are usually affected in a marriage. They write about the “tokens” in a simplistic yet relatable way of actually implementing them with or without professional help. I would definitely recommend this book to any looking to grow in their marriage after overcoming so much during their postpartum struggles.

5.0 out of 5 starsI find this book so useful, that I would not hesitate to recommend it ...
By Kathleen Kelley on February 16, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner specializing in Postpartum Mental Health disorders, I find this book so useful, that I would not hesitate to recommend it to couples whose marriage had suffered in the wake of any trauma, as well as couples just starting out on the journey of their lives together, in order to learn how to care for themselves and their relationship when the normal stresses and strains of married life arise. I also recommend this book to couples who are struggling not only with the aftermath of postpartum illness, but simply with the disconnection or neglect of the marital relationship that often results from the extreme busyness, fatigue and differing needs that are inevitable when a helpless infant is added to a family.

5.0 out of 5 starsClinician Recommended!
By Jessica Foley, MA, LMHC, CCMHC on February 2, 2015
Format: Paperback
As a clinician, I recommend this book all the time for all my clients who have recovered from post partum mood disorders. Honestly, I’ve also recommended it to clients without children, because the content looks beyond motherhood and really works to connects couples again. The eight tokens are solid keys to any long term relationship, and after a recovery from depression or anxiety, it’s often essential to rebuild and repair. Let this book be your road map.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt gives you sound advice for loving someone who doesn't always love themselves. Bravo
By Sharon Gerdes on November 17, 2014
Format: Paperback
Although this books targets women who are recovering from Postpartum Depression, the tokens can prove valuable in any relationship. Whether it's been four years or forty, every marriage needs a little dusting off and sprucing up. Karen explains why relationships slip into shaky grounds, and provides a series of strategies to help the relationship get back on track. The book is a must read for anyone who's married to an individual who suffers from depression. It gives you sound advice for loving someone who doesn't always love themselves. Bravo, Karen.

5.0 out of 5 starsA must read for all
By valerie schwartz on August 11, 2014
Format: Paperback
Tokens of Affection saved my friend's marriage. It is filled with information and tools that, quite frankly, some of us take for granted. Even in good marriages, we forget to pay attention to some of the things that can easily blow out of proportion if we aren't careful. It is easy to read, and can help everyone remember to focus on what's really important. So much so, that I would recommend it for ANY marriage, not just marriages that are recovering from depression.
