Getting the Love You Want

A Guide for Couples
Book • 1988
This book, written by Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt, explains how unconscious childhood experiences influence adult relationships.

It suggests that people often choose partners who resemble their caregivers, hoping to resolve unfinished childhood issues.

The authors provide a structured approach, including the 'Imago Dialogue,' to help couples communicate effectively, resolve power struggles, and heal early childhood wounds.

The book combines behavioral science, depth psychology, social learning theory, Gestalt therapy, and interpersonal neuroscience to enhance closeness and fulfill relationships.
