Review by Library Journal Review

Clinical psychologist Johnson here lays out her patented couples-therapy program, explaining the science behind the feelings that are frightening and overwhelming to couples seeking love, support, and companionship. This title is natural as an audiobook: the sterling narration by Sandra Burr--whose reading of Mary Roach's Bonk, also from Brilliance, received a starred review (LJ 8/08)--takes the text a step further. All libraries having self-help or therapy collections must add this recording. [Audio clip available through library.brillianceaudio. com.--Ed.]--Susan G.
