DR. KILMANN’S RECOMMENDATIONS
To help you choose which particular courses, assessments, and books will be most relevant to your specialized needs and/or the needs of your clients, Dr. Ralph Kilmann has prepared his recommendations especially to suit your primary or preferred occupational identity—which he summarizes in the following way:
Dysfunctional families of origin set in motion numerous personal conflicts, life challenges, and intimacy struggles that grown adults experience years later, which then fosters a new generation of dysfunctional families—and “the beat goes on.” To break this vicious cycle, therapists can help their clients work through their recurring patterns and personal conflicts, thus seeding new generations of healthy families and satisfying relationships.
