Title: An Insider's Look at Relationship Counseling
Review: With humor and insight gained from considerable experience as a practicing marriage therapist, Dr. William Morrow dons his referee shirt or flak jacket as the case may be and leads the reader on a journey across the reefs of marital discord. Morrow begins his collection of essays with an insider's look at the therapist' role. He concedes most folks come to therapy convinced of their own rightness and are waiting for the therapist to discover this and announce the obvious winner. They will first have to endure an episode of active listening. Admitting a bias in favor of marriage and the sustained relationship, Morrow, who is an ordained minister as well as a therapist, urges his clients to bring openness and courage to the therapy. Viewing relationship as a solid ship within which one is better prepared for both the joyous and the dire consequences of living, Morrow urges patience and committed listening to all participants.
