Download or read book Between Give And Take written by Ivan Krasner Boszormenyi-Nagy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, Boszormenyi-Nagy and Krasner provide a comprehensive, sharply focused guide to the clinical use of Contextual Therapy (CT) as a therapy rooted in the reality of human relationships.
