Hi Dinah,
I guess the best part about Imago for me is that it is not just marital therapy (the relationship) -- it is about the individuals in the relationship and why they have chosen each other for a long term relationship. So even though Imago therapy is for couples, it speaks very clearly to each individual's issues. I learned so much about myself and my childhood issues and how my limbic brain reacts to what I perceive as danger (abandonment). My husband is a dear but he is a big time avoider of conflict. When he employs his avoidance tactics, I act angry but am truly terrified of abandonment.
Now, I seem to be not answering your question...
I think Imago would be great for married pals. Or did you mean literally *fraternal* realtionships?I knew I would be back to Babble. Thanks, Dinah, for being here.
