Text on the theory of tension existing between two people in a significant relationship and an outside force (e.g., an affair, memory, etc.). Guide for therapists on managing triangles in couples, families, or individuals.
Philip J. Guerin, Jr., M.D. and Thomas F. Fogarty, M.D., are both psychiatrists who trained at Georgetown University Medical Center, taught together at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and in 1973 founded the Center for Family Learning in Rye Brook, New York. This text celebrates more than 25 years of collaboration.
