Title: From impasse to intimacy
First published: 1998
Description: An experienced couples counselor identifies the unconscious factors that influence the way we feel and behave in intimate relationships - the invisible needs that create and sustain our dysfunctional patterns of relating. Empathy is what makes relational transformation possible, according to Shaddock, and his book is a testament to that possibility. Enriched with an accessible theoretical tool kit and the case stories of real couples, it celebrates the healthy kind of dependency that can make relationships the best place to work out individual problems - and, by so doing, leap from impasse to intimacy.
