Doing Imago Relationship Therapy in the Space-Between

Developed by Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt in the 1980s, Imago Relationship Therapy helps couples—and everyone in significant relationships—shift from conflict to connection by transforming the quality of their interactions.

Now, for the first time, the essential principles and practices of Imago, as illustrated in the New York Times bestseller Getting the Love You Want, are presented for the benefit of both novice and seasoned clinicians.

Using the Imago processes, couples create a Conscious Partnership in which they feel safe, fully alive and joyful, learning to be mutually empathic for each other’s childhood challenges and present to each other without judgement. Hendrix and Hunt help couples learn and practise Imago Dialogue, moving from blame and reactivity to mutual acceptance, affirmation and empathy, thus deepening their connection.

Joining theory and practice with elegance, and filled with examples, exercises and dialogues, this is a book no couple's therapist can afford to be without.
