Produktbeschreibung
It has been nearly ten years since the publication of Short-Term Couples Therapy: The Imago Model in Action. In that time, the book has sold over 8000 copies plus book club sales. The book has been used regularly by therapists all over the country who are interested in this effective and now well-known model of working with couples.

The couple then moves on with a more flexible and authentic relationship in place, and the therapist can feel good about letting them go.

Other planned changes include an additional chapter on "Healthy Coupling: The Basics," which would include recent research on the qualities
