Relationship Therapy Eric Christian Johnson Phd

The first three sections, in this book on relationships, focuses on the individual. This is because a relationship is built up of individuals. If a relationship is going to be healthy, the individuals in the relationship need to be healthy. You can't have a healthy relationship built on two unhealthy individuals. The fourth section is about how interactions of two individuals work in a relationship. The section is focused on interactions, because that is what forms a relationship. If you want your relationship to be healthy, make your interactions healthy. Interactions such as yelling, screaming, coercion, name calling, or manipulation, create unhealthy relationships. Interactions such as forgiving, loving, complimenting, praising, helping, sharing, playing, create healthy relationships. The last 48 pages of the book are pages dedicated to making notes. These pages are for couples to use in therapy when they are making notes during a session.
