“How to Have A Match Made in Heaven has been the ideal guide to putting together the pieces of the dating and relationship puzzle….Rather than fixing, curing or even healing relationship problems, the Kanes are advocates for transformation….They have witnessed it with the myriad clients and students with whom they have worked over the years. Several of these clients were gracious enough to allow transcripts of taped sessions to be used in the book….Concepts such as being right versus being alive, attention seeking, playing the victim role, fear of intimacy, flirting, seeking perfection, mindfulness, presence and, of course, and sex, are highlighted throughout this book that should be on every therapist’s bookshelf as a relationship primer. And this is the ideal book for anyone who simply wants to understand the dynamics of any relationship they may find themselves in.”
