Disarming the Past: How an Intimate Relationship Can Heal Old Wounds

This is an excellent book on the healing power inherent in healthy, intimate relationships. But this is not just another flaky "positive thinking" "how-to" book. Written by a noted therapist and researcher, it summarizes extensive research done at the Timberlawn Research Foundation, in Dallas, Texas, and presents the results, along with interesting and insightful case studies, in a clear, easy-to-read style for a general audience. It is thorough and informative enough to be useful to professionals in this area, and includes the Timberlawn Couple and Family Evaluation Scale, which can be used to rate couple and family relationships in terms of healthy functioning.An excelent resource, likely to become a classic.
