Conflict Resolution for Couples

About the Book

This “Just the Tools” Edition is an abbreviated version of Paul Shaffer’s “Conflict Resolution for Couples – the R.I.V.E.R. Method”, of which the 15th Anniversary Edition came out in 2020. This leaner edition focuses on just the core tools that Paul teaches when doing couple’s work – the basics that every couple needs to know: • The 5-step conflict resolution model (R.I.V.E.R.) • The 26 “rules” (ABC’s) for avoiding a fight • Healthy routines for making and maintaining relational growth
