Werk over kortdurende relatietherapie door Patricia O'Hanlon Hudson en William Hudson O'Hanlon. Volgens de achterflap gebruiken de auteurs in een radicale afwijking van traditionele relatietherapie de kracht van validatie en oplossingsgericht strategieën om relationele impasses te doorbreken. In plaats van verstrikt te raken in schuld en analyse, helpen zij koppels problemen te vinden die opgelost kunnen worden, beweging naar samenwerking en verantwoordelijkheid te creëren, en destructieve patronen te veranderen.
