The High-Conflict Couple: A Dialectical Behavior Therapy Guide to Finding Peace, Intimacy, and Validation by Alan Fruzzetti

challenging informative slow-paced

3.5

I'm a marriage and family therapist and this is a common book to be given to couples. I did not enjoy the beginning of it because it was just too simplistic and would maybe even be aloof in the sense that the solution to problems ignored underlying resentments. However, the book improved as you read it, and there were some excellent points made about acceptance versus change, and how to resolve conflict. Overall, I felt like it was a pretty slow read even though it's a small book.
