IRRELATIONSHIP: How we use Dysfunctional Relationships to Hide from Intimacy - Mark B. Borg

The authors are practitioners in the mental health field who bring over seven decades of experience of working with individuals, couples, families, and communities on how to maintain and thrive in loving relationships. Dr. Borg and Dr. Brenner share a solid track record of numerous published writings in their field, in a wide variety of professional journals and magazines, and as guest contributors to professional medical and psychological books.Meaningful romantic relationships are of universal interest, and this book speaks to a vast audience in search of practical suggestions and accessible advice on how to build and sustain fulfilling, authentic relationships. Where other self-help relationship books get bogged down in overanalyzing how and why dysfunctional behavior came to be, this book presents a workable, action-oriented model with techniques and experiential processes that help people achieve personal breakthroughs to catalyze enduring shifts in the way they love.The writing is both informative and entertaining, never technical or complicated, and the authors effectively use case studies of various versions of “irrelationships,” providing real-life examples that will resonate with readers and illustrate the dynamic described in the rest of the book.
