"This is an excellent resource for clinicians who use or are learning to use homework assignments in their therapeutic process with couples. The book is very well organized and easy to use. This book is very applicable to the practicing clinician working with couples and/or individuals struggling with breaking unproductive habit patterns in relationships."
