### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very pertinent
*by D***S on June 9, 2003*

First, let me say that I've never been a proponent of Therapy. This book, however, has made me re-think that stance. I'm recently divorced. I was very surprised how this book explained, in detail, the process I went through. It provided an insight into family and relationship dynamics that I had not considered at all. While obstensively, it documents a therapy process with a single family, the side notes, theory, and author's comments provide a fuller explanation of the dynamice of relationships that makes this book a "must read" if you are interested in why you do things and how you work within your relationships. I find myself wondering if I had read this before my divorce if there would have been a different outcome. I definitely would have looked at the entire process and relationship differently. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to get a better understanding of relationship dynamics, especially in a family setting.
