The Essential Humility of Marriage : Honoring the Third Identity in Couple Therapy

Summary: Examining how we look at a marriage...
Review: Using current research and his own work with couples, Dr. Hargrave challenged me to examine how I look at marriage and the marriages that come to my office. He offers a place to begin with damaged relationships and points to a direction to lead them. I found his examples and exercises useful in shaping my own beliefs about struggling marriages and useful as tools for those couples. I would recommend this work to beginning students of marital therapy, as well as experienced therapists reviewing their beliefs about how relationship integrity can be restored.
