[relationshipresources at fuse.net]

Hi James
My husband and I have written a little book called "Finding the ExtraOrdinary Marriage; a guide to Building Strong, Loving and Compassionate Relationships Using Appreciative Inquiry.  we would be happy to send you a copy if you send us an address.  The outlines some of the ideas about how AI can be used in couple relationship especially those couples who are experiencing acute loss.

Warm Regards
Joan
