Ugh. Halfway through it turned into an instructional book on negotiation and manipulation. At least that's how I interpreted it. The process apparently involves getting a couple to sit with this counselor; sticking your partner with a guilt-love-how-can-I-help-you-to-change-your-selfish-behaviour cattle prod, breaking the other person down to the point of teary confessions of committment, and then rebuilding their ruined self esteem so you get what you want.
And it started out so good, too.
