Why are We Still Fighting? How to End Your Schema Wars and Start Connecting with the People You Love

After the high drama of an argument dies down, disagreements still remain unresolved, and divorce is just one step closer. What drives so many couples into conflict? Why are satisfying relationships so elusive? According to psychologist Maureen Kirby Lassen, the problem is often rooted in one's mental models of the world. Lassen demonstrates how readers can become their own relationship experts by deconstructing these models, analyzing their influence, and developing strategies for effective change. With almost half of all marriages still ending in divorce, this book has a large potential audience.
