Drawing on the author's nearly four decades of experience treating individuals and couples, The Fives Cs of a Healthy Relationship explores the dynamics of romantic relationships and provides readers with insight into the five factors or actions needed on the part of all couples to maintain a strong, healthy relationship. The opening chapters present readers with an in-depth personal case history, which outlines a cast of characters and explores their relationship journey, including the challenges and opportunities they face along the way. Proceeding chapters introduce the Five Cs-Communication, Compromise, Conflict Resolution, Compassion, and Commitment-and speak about them within the context of the case study. Additional chapters address six dos and don'ts for successful relationships and the application of the Five Cs when handling common relationship issues. Closing chapters provide a recap of key exercises presented throughout the text and a selection of poetry related to relationship struggles, joys, and losses. The Five Cs of a Healthy Relationship is an exemplary resource for courses and programs in relationship counseling, family therapy, and interpersonal communication.
