Download or read book IRRELATIONSHIP How we use Dysfunctional Relationships to Hide from Intimacy written by Mark B. Borg and published by Central Recovery Press, LLC. This book was released on 2015-09-28 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter how committed two people are to being together, why can't they get away from feeling something is missing? In this important and transformative guide, three experienced practitioners identify the widespread dysfunctional dynamic they call "irrelationship," a psychological defense system two people create together to protect themselves from the fear and anxiety of real intimacy in a relationship. Drawing on their wide clinical and life experience, the authors examine behavioral "song-and-dance routines" repeatedly performed by couples affected by irrelationship. Readers will find a valuable framework for understanding their challenges with action-oriented tools to help them navigate their way to fulfilling relationships. Mark B.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dysfunctional relationships occur all the time and it does take a bit of work to get things back on track. "Making The Best Of A Dysfunctional Relationship" is a book that can help people that are seeking a viable solution to their relationship woes and to find the most amicable solution to their problems. The author starts out by defining what a dysfunctional relationship is before going into the various solutions that can be used to fix the problem. Of course the situations that cannot be fixed are also highlighted. Having a healthy relationship is extremely difficult and takes a lot of commitment on the part of both persons. It also takes a lot of understanding and compromise. Lack of this, among other things can lead to a dysfunction in the relationship. By bearing these things in mind and having an open mind to receive constructive criticism, the relationship can be a healthy and long lasting one. About the Author: Sarah M. Shaw knows what it takes to have a healthy relationship as she grew up in a household where her she saw her parents working hard to maintain their relationship. The great thing is that they did not allow their problems to affect any of their children negatively. If they were caught arguing, they would sit the children down and explained that persons would disagree from time to time but that the skill was getting things sorted out in an amicable fashion. She carried this into her adult life and found that she had quite a bit of success when she applied the same principles to her own relationships. Some worked better than others and she finally found her true match in her husband Phil, to whom she has been happily married for over ten years. Her ultimate goal is to get everyone to be as happy as she is and so she chose to write a book to help those with dysfunctional relationships to work their problems out.
Download or read book Sexual Dysfunction in Women written by Marta Meana and published by Hogrefe Publishing GmbH. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual Dysfunction in Women is a concise yet detailed clinical guide to the treatment of sexual difficulties in women. Written with the general psychologist and therapist in mind and being published with a companion volume on Sexual Dysfunction in Men, it takes the novel position that most clinicians interested and willing to help female clients with sexual concerns can do so effectively, even if they do not primarily consider themselves as sex therapists. Many women will experience difficulties with desire, arousal, orgasm, or pain with intercourse at some point in the course of their lives, yet most clinicians feel less equipped to treat sexual dysfunction than far less prevalent disorders. This book empowers general psychologists, therapists, and other practitioners to actively engage in the multidisciplinary treatment of sexual disorders and broaden their knowledge base about sexuality, an important component of most clients' quality of life. It is both a go-to resource for professional clinicians in their daily work and an ideal resource for students and practice-oriented continuing education.
