Guide to Happy Loving

Breaking out of the wrong relationship patterns and finally finding the right ones

Strengthening your relationship skills

Say goodbye to catastrophic relationships: knowing what makes you tick and what makes others tick gives you a much greater chances of achieving a successful relationship. Time after time we end up in the same destructive patterns that lead to dates from hell or disappointments after the first few weeks when everything seems rosy. Based on three protagonists, Gitta Jacob and Alexandra Widmer explain the three basic types of relationship and raise your awareness about difficult two-person constellations and deadly prey patterns. They help you discover your own strengths and point out which type of relationship suits you best.
There are lots of exercises to help you understand what has shaped you, the roots of which often reach right back to early childhood. In the end, if you can categorise your own behaviour and that of your opposite number, you have a better chance of achieving a stable and happy partnership.

• First book on relationships which decodes the three basic relationship traps
• Relaxed tone, appealing introduction to the schematic therapeutic approach
• With tests to determine what type you are
