I just finished reading When the Past Is Present: Healing the Emotional Wounds That Sabotage Our Relationships by David Richo, PhD.
Really good book, IMO.
I posted some material from the second chapter in a post in General entitled "The Work"
http://www.survivinginfidelity.com/forums.asp?tid=608750
It focuses mainly on "transference", which for those that don't know, is the unconscious transfer of feelings and attitudes from a person or situation in the past on to a person or situation in the present.
The content was really good and there were practices (exercises) throughout each chapter. Definitely worth checking out for those that are interested in gaining further insights into themselves and doing some healing work.
It combines psychology and Buddhist philosophy, which has been the approach we have used in our healing, and which has been completely transformative for both of us.

Thanks for this review ! I love David Richo's work. I don't have this book, I'll be ordering it today.
I really got a lot out of his book, "how to be a grownup." Good stuff.

I just bought his "How to Be an Adult" book this morning. I am only a few pages in so far and have a feeling this will be pretty intense.
