Harville Hendrix has illuminated the paths to loving, long-lasting relationships in his New York Times bestsellers Getting the Love You Want and Keeping the Love You Find. Now, with coauthor and wife Helen LaKelly Hunt, he brings us to a new understanding about one of the most complicated issues facing couples today: Receiving Love Many men and women know how to give love, but many more undermine their relationships by never having learned how to accept it. We don't always realize the ways in which we reject appreciation and affection, help and guidance from our romantic partners. And, according to Hendrix and Hunt, until we are able to understand the meaning behind our behavior, our relationships stand to suffer. Ask yourself: Are you reluctant to tell your partner what you really want or need? When you do get what you've asked for, do you still feel dissatisfied? Is it difficult for you to accept kind gestures, gifts, or compliments from your partner? If you answered yes to any of the above, this book is for you. With Receiving Love, you can learn how to break the shackles of self-rejection -- which likely began in childhood, when our caretakers unintentionally failed to nurture us -- and embrace real intimacy. Drawing on their renowned expertise, the wide clinical experience of Imago therapists, and their own personal experience as a married couple, the authors offer detailed, sensitive advice on how to turn a relationship between two well-meaning yet misunderstood individuals into a true, everlasting partnership.

Imago Relationship Therapy It's been more than three decades since Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt—the best-selling authors of Getting the Love You Want and Keeping the Love You Find—created Imago Relationship Therapy. Their concept of the "conscious marriage" introduced a new paradigm for understanding the dynamics of couples. Since that time more than two thousand clinicians in twenty-eight countries have adopted and implemented this highly effective form of couples therapy. This groundbreaking book offers an overview of the highly successful Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT) and the relationship of IRT with preceding schools of thought such as psychoanalytic theory, family systems theories, affect theory, and self-psychology. At the heart of IRT is a three-step process involving mirroring (reflecting) the partner's feelings, validating the partner's point of view, and expressing empathy toward the partner's feelings. Imago Relationship Therapy traces IRT's history and explosive growth and outlines the differences and similarities between Imago theory and other models of couples therapy. The book also presents some of the ideas of prominent Imago thinkers, such as the central role of connectivity and the problem of envy in committed relationships. "A uniquely important book for the practitioner, which provides clinical wisdom and a rare look into the heart and soul of Imago Relationship Therapy." —Pat Love, Ed.D., author, The Truth About Love

Perspectives on Theory

Imago Relationship Therapy

The first-ever book on Imago Relationship Therapy from its creators geared toward therapists. Developed by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt in the 1980s, Imago Relationship Therapy helps couples—and everyone in significant relationships—shift from conflict to connection by transforming the quality of their interactions. Now, for the first time, the essential principles and practices of Imago, as illustrated in the New York Times bestseller Getting the Love You Want, are presented for the benefit of both novice and seasoned clinicians. Using the Imago processes, couples create a Conscious Partnership in which they feel safe, fully alive, and joyful, learning to be mutually empathic for each other’s childhood challenges and present to each other without judgement. Hendrix and Hunt help couples learn and practice Imago Dialogue, moving from blame and reactivity to mutual acceptance, affirmation, and empathy, thus deepening their connection. Joining theory and practice with elegance, and filled with examples, exercises, and dialogues, this is a book no couples therapist can afford to be without.

Doing Imago Relationship Therapy in the Space-Between: A Clinician's Guide

Helen Lakelly Hunt

Devant l’enfant de trois ans qui trépigne de colère ou l’adolescent qui claque les portes, nous nous sentons fréquemment impuissants et désarmés. Que faire dans de telles situations et, en toutes circonstances, comment assumer au mieux notre difficile et délicate tâche de parents ? S’appuyant sur de nombreux cas, Harville Hendrix et Helen Lakelly Hunt, nous exposent les différents jalons pour passer de la parentalité inconsciente à la parentalité consciente, qui seule peut permettre à nos enfants de grandir dans un cadre tout à la fois sécurisant et ouvert sur le monde. Grâce au « dialogue intentionnel », un dialogue construit et maîtrisé, le parent doit apprendre à se situer dans la relation et à s’identifier : par exemple, est-il un « maximiseur » — surinvesti — ou un « minimiseur » — sous-investi ? Il cherchera également à percevoir ses propres blessures infantiles qui, à bien des égards, interagissent dans le couple et dans le lien parental. Harville Hendrix et Helen Lakelly Hunt nous invitent à traverser les six stades de croissance — depuis celui de l’attachement, celui du nouveau-né, à celui de l’intimité, celui de l’adolescent — et nous amènent ainsi à retisser le fil distendu, et souvent malheureusement rompu, avec ces enfants qui nous sont si proches et, pourtant, parfois si insaisissables… Traduit de l’américain par Antoine et Chantal d’Audiffret. Harville Hendrix et Helen Lakelly Hunt sont thérapeutes conjugaux et ont publié ensemble plusieurs ouvrages.

Marriage for many women is simply miserable. And if that's not bad enough, what makes this even worse is that oftentimes it is we men who inject the misery into the marriage (like injecting our favorite marinade into the Thanksgiving turkey). We judge our wives, criticize them, gripe, complain, and fail to appreciate them. Is this behavior helpful? Is it effective? Is it Christ-like? No (and no wonder why the divorce rate among professing Christians is not much different from those who do not follow Jesus)! To tell you the truth, God's plan for the way you treat your wife looks very different.Throughout With No Strings Attached: 28 Days of Blessing Your Wife, Dr. Steven Bell details twenty-eight unique ways for you to love your wife unconditionally. Each approach to blessing your wife is simple, yet immensely challenging (and well worth your time). The days of the “status quo” husband are quickly coming to an end, and our wives need more from us than we've been giving them. Grounded in scripture and a number of other helpful resources, With No Strings Attached: 28 Days of Blessing Your Wife provides a clear blueprint of how to take your marriage from miserable to magnificent.

28 Days of Blessing Your Wife

With No Strings Attached

De fleste mennesker ønsker et velfungerende parforhold, men det er ikke alle, der ved, hvad det kræver, eller er villige til at yde det, der skal til. Harville Hendrix er en af USA ́s førende parterapeuter, og hans teori er, at vi vælger vores partner ud fra en række ”gamle” følelsesmønstre og -behov. Det giver både muligheden for at finde lykken og for at få traumer og problemer op til overfladen og er dermed en enestående chance for udvikling og vejen til et levende og harmonisk samliv. Hendrix kommer ikke med nemme løsninger, men fremstiller varmt og nøgternt kærligheden mellem mand og kvinde og giver en række konstruktive forslag til at få det bedre med hinanden. »Denne bog er en perle, der ikke forfalder til enfaktorforklaringer, men betragter problemerne ud fra deres kompleksitet... man fornemmer at forfatteren har stor indsigt i parforholdets dynamik.« - Vendsyssel Tidende
