Herbine-Blank and Sweezy's manual is elegantly simple and stunningly profound. Therapeutic models are often easier to teach than they are to integrate into one's own therapeutic practice. This manual shows us how to utilize their treatment model, Intimacy from the Inside Out, and the myriad of case examples shows us the amazing results. Couple after couple is able to let down their guard and learn how to open their hearts to each other with tenderness and compassion. Bateson famously said, "The map is not the territory." But this book is a map that is as close to being in the room with IFIO's masters as one could hope to be. It's a treasure map. It could transform your practice.
