Embracing Each Other

by Drs. Hal Stone and Sidra Stone

Published by Delos, Inc., Albion, California.

This is a companion book to Embracing Our Selves, a major contribution to our understanding of how relationships work. Drs. Hal and Sidra Stone show how each relationship provides an opportunity for growth. In a non-judgmental, very human fashion, they explain how to use the relationships in your life-and particularly the uncomfortable aspects of these relationships-as a path of self-discovery, healing and expanded consciousness. This is a delightful introduction to the dance of your selves in relationship, whether they be romantic, familial or work-related.
