I purchased this book to be a part of my professional clinical library. One of the toughest jobs I have seen in counseling is when one member of a partnership wishes to provide curative skills to an injured relationship. Phil DeLuca, MSW does an admirable job at providing those tools that oftentimes can be essential in completing that very task. My client population indicate that combined with the therapeutic alliance it can have a positive effect on their thinking/behavior and relationship.

A very good book for "soloing partners"

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2005

Presently, this is "THE" book that provides a practical description of the "distancer-pursuer" pattern of interaction, which is the most common pattern found in distressed marriages and exclusive committed love relationships. It tells you what you need to do to produce positive changes in your marriage or relationship if you mate or partner refuses to work on the problems in it, and it goes into some of the 'why' you need to do so. I'm a professional life skillls coach who specializes in working with 'soloing' spouses and partners, especially those who need help in getting their "walkaway" husband or wives, or boyfriends or girlfriends, back. This book was one of the foundation stones of the strategies, tactics, and techniques I teach them to use. It's a very good book!

If you find yourself in a distance/pursuer relationship, this book offers a great chapter on this. It doesn't give concrete actions to take, besides, stop pursuing. A little hard to read, but its a nice change from the religion based books.

A Must-Read for Any Troubled Marriage

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2009

I am so glad that a friend referred me to this hard-to-find book! Anyone who is experiencing any kind of marital distress in which your partner refuses counseling and/or denies there is a problem will really benefit by reading this book. The practical exercises at the end of each chapter, while painful, are guiding me through the process of making changes in myself, which I hope and pray will help improve my marriage. As I read this book, I feel like the author has been filming a "reality show" of my marriage and knows what REALLY goes on in our attempts at communication, as well as our thoughts. Also, it's so hopeful to learn that even if only one partner is willing to change, a relationship really can improve. I'm counting on that to be true.

BECAREFUL Not to buy the wrong book!!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2007

Amazon isnt aware that there are two versions of this book. ISBN 0881791298 published in 1996, paperback retails for 14.95. ISBN 1570901597 published in 2002 sells for 40.00 and up it is a hardback. THese books are being confused as one and the same they are not. Dont be confused and pay more.
