The Husbands and Wives Club: A Year in the Life of a Couples Therapy Group Audiobook

" This book in non fiction and the author follows five couples struggling with the normal challenges including money sex and power that couples face in a marriage. I found listening to their experiences helpful and inspiring. There are no easy answers to keep marriages evolving. It made me think about think more deeply about my own interactions. I do recommend this book. "

" For me, this book was too much about the history of different couples therapy theories and not enough about the couples actually in the group. An attempt was made at character development, but, really more from a reporting eye than a plot device to make the story richer, deeper. "

" Oh man. This look inside a couples therapy group was so fascinating, I wished Abraham hadn't spent any time on theories about marriage. All I wanted was to know more about these people! "

" Other people's bad marriages are like car accidents. You can't help but stare but it makes you feel bad. "

" Liked the author and the honesty in the book. "

" Ditto this comment "Couldn't finish it. I thought it would be something I really liked, but it was very bland and hard for me to remember each couples' stories. I felt like I needed to finish it, but was just wasting my time when there are so many other books awaiting me." "

" No matter how dysfunctional your marriage, someone else's is more fucked up. So, this was a feel-good read! "

" The psychobabble sometimes got in the way of the narrative flow, and the conclusions seemed a bit to "easy" for me, but I enjoyed seeing the problems and progress of these couples. "

" This is not a light read because it has a lot of psychology mixed in between the sessions. I guess I was hoping it was going to be juicier. My M.S. is in Counseling Psychology so this was more like partial reading for class. "

" I found this book to be interesting in that the author wove references to a wide variety of therapeutic frameworks. It made me want to find the other books that she briefly touched upon to find out more. "

" More clinical than I expected. "

" Couldn't finish it. I thought it would be something I really liked, but it was very bland and hard for me to remember each couples' stories. I felt like I needed to finish it, but was just wasting my time when there are so many other books awaiting me. "

" Kind of boring. I was surprised to not like it, because I am the world's nosiest person. "

" Couldn't finish. Realized I wasn't interested in learning about other people's marriage troubles. I didn't know this before I tried, but it's incredibly hard for marriage problems to be interesting in any way. "

" Sometimes I felt like a voyeur reading about the trials and mishaps of various married couples in group therapy, but it also offers some insight into what works in healthy relationships. The presentation of research interspersed with observations from the group sessions was an engaging approach. "
