Essential reading for those in dysfunctional relationships.

In Creating Real Relationships, relationship professional Richard Pfeiffer focuses on the dynamics that underlie what goes wrong (and what works right) with relationships. The dynamics of difference and shame have the power to set up the development of a false self. Overcoming the power of these deleterious dynamics is the source of transforming wounded relationships and individuals into effective and healthy ones. Pfeiffer addresses such relationship issues as assertiveness skills, overcoming personal anger, overcoming the anger of a partner, overcoming qualities of difference and shame, conflict resolutions skills, direct communication skills, and listening skills. Creating Real Relationships is essential reading for anyone struggle with dysfunctional relationships and in search of personal psychological growth and communication skill development.

I was waiting for this book to come out because I benefited so much from one of Richard Pfeiffer's earlier books, the Real Solution Assertiveness Workbook. Creating Real Relationships delivers cutting edge skills and concepts for overcoming the universal difficulties in intimate relationships. Learn practical techniques for couples to find an increased seense of closeness by becoming more real with each other.
