This volume aims to offer therapists a profound and original way of thinking about marital therapy and the marital process and explains many perplexing phenomena, such as why "better communication" so often leads to greater disturbance in marriage. Guided by this knowledge of the existential limitations of all people in our common human condition, and his insight into the dialectics of process, Dr Charny describes how each couple creates a unique system in the interactions of their strengths and weaknesses with one another. He also offers an unusual way of understanding the unique code of each such marital system.
