Rating: Summary: Amazing Insight Into Relationship Dynamics Review: A friend loaned me his book when I was in a troubled relationship. I learned more about the dynamics of relationships from this book than I ever could have in practice. In fact, I learned so much from it, I just had to buy it. I have read and re-read my own book many many times and have loaned it to most of my friends. It's too bad this book is out of print. I would recommend anyone buy it, regardless of the price.
Rating: Summary: Read This Before It's Too Late Review: A year ago this book could have helped avoid the breakup we just experienced. It might not have avoided the split, but at least we both would have exerted all efforts to try to understand the issues and reach a mutual decision rather than have it all fall on one to make the decision.
The book is brilliant. I could not put it down. The cases were effective in linking theory with life and it was almost too easy to identify with the roles. Throw away the so-called self-help books that promise reconciliation and read this book at the first sign of relationship troubles. Regardless of the outcome, you both will find a great sense of peace and resolve for having applied the techniques Dr. Dellis decribes.
Rating: Summary: BRING THIS BOOK BACK! WE NEED IT! Review: As a Dating, Marriage, & Divorce Counselor, I feel lost not being able to refer my clients to this book. It has helped so many! Not only does it lend crystal clear insight into relationship imbalances, how they come to be, how the reader can recognize what is happening -- it goes further and tells the reader how to correct the imbalances in their intimate relationships. I cannot recommend it more highly. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!
Rating: Summary: This is THE BEST book on relationship dynamics ever! Review: I cannot believe this book is not still around. I have read it, and most of the people I know have read it. We all had the same reaction. WOW! Brilliant book.

Rating: Summary: Best of the Best Review: I just came across this book by accident at a thrift shop. It's unebelievable that it's out of print! This book, in very simple terms, offers an explanation for just about every romantic trouble -- the imbalance between partners. I looked at "Relationship Rescue," yet another new psychobabble book on the block and there's no comparison. Where McGraw gives you "men are this way, women are that way, deal with it," Delis offers real insights on what and how power imbalances occur and even points out that those in gender stereotyped relationships are actually prone to more problems! I'm divorced and have had my share of breakups -- this book nails every single one of my previous relationships. As one previous reviewer wrote, this should be mandatory reading in high school.Bring this book back into print!

Rating: Summary: Best of the Best Review: If you read this book,your life will never be the same.True insight to relationships and problems are hard to come by,and this one just hit the mark. It is really a terrific book.Too bad I read it after it was a little bit too late to know what was going on in my marriage of 20 years.I just did not understand what hit us,and the problem is I think there is still a chance of renewal. I think the book should be updated,because if it happens like in my case,then what can you do about it.Maybe a consultation with Dr.Delis might be helpful.Thank you.
Rating: Summary: Should be required reading in high school! Review: The most easy to understand book I have ever read reguarding relationships and how to understand the thinking of the opposite sex.
Rating: Summary: Gave me amazing insights into relationship dynamics Review: This book has been passed around among all of my friends and we're all heartbroken that it's out of print -- BRING IT BACK!!!!! It is so valuable, not just regarding romance but for ALL relationships in one's life, ranging from home to work, etc. It's outstanding. Highly recommend it.
