Unbearable Relationships. A Book for Family Therapists

The most common client request in the office of a family therapist: to divorce or not? Couples come to therapy to resolve this conflict: we love each other, but we cannot be together. Everyone knows that love is a great force. But why, if love is so powerful, are relationships sometimes so unbearable? If love is a source of happiness and joy, why is it so difficult to fully open up? How can we help such people? The book by the outstanding psychologist John Welwood reveals the main reason for problems in relationships and will help therapists working with couples change their perception of love, which is passed down from generation to generation.
