Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love by Sue Johnson

Dr. Johnson has many years of research behind her practice of Emotionally Focused Marital Therapy.  The emphasis she devotes to attachment theory and how attachments or the absence thereof are carried into our adult relationships resonates with my own observations of couples and my own experience.  Her methodology has been established as the most helpful marital therapy for assisting couples to deepen their emotional connections and to sustain a life long commitment.  I have used the methods of marital therapy established by Dr. Johnson in my work with couples and in my own marriage.  I recommend this book to anyone interested in examining how their attachments from earlier in life inform their adult relationships and to all who want to establish a deeply fulfilling and enduring bond with their partner.
