"Rob Fisher has developed
a host of effective ways to resolve gridlock by tapping into experience
that the partners often don't even know they are having. Its hard
to read his new book without repeatedly thinking 'That's how I should be
doing couple therapy'" .

B. Wile, PhD. Author of Couples Therapy: A Non-Traditional Approach.

Rob Fisher has performed
the delicate task of integrating classical theories and techniques of couples
psychotherapy with such important innovations nonviolence, mindfulness
and body-mind holism. His advocacy of freeing ourselves from character
strategies that cripple our capacity for relatedness rings true.
Using lots of clear clinical examples, he guides the reader through experiential
methods of assessing couples problems, and the experiential means to unravel
them. Accessible and imminently useable, this book can be used by therapist
and couple alike to plumb the depths of relational intimacy. I plan
on assigning it to both my students and clients."

therapists of many persuasions will find Experiential Psychotherapy with
Couples: A Guide for the Creative Pragmatist to be an aptly named treasure
trove. Both theoretically sophisticated and full of "how to" techniques
and illustrating case examples, its also fun to read. I recommend
it enthusiastically!"
