Product Description
The author suggests that most relationship problems are one-way problems - one person loving, caring, or giving too much for the wrong reasons. Drawing on his experience as a Christian counsellor, he offers advice, suggesting the problems have deep roots in past traumatic events and family life.

From the Back Cover
Do you know someone like Sally? Attractive, competent, a first-rate housekeeper and mother. She takes care of everybody: mum, husband, brothers, sisters, children and even the old woman next door. She loves sacrificially at her own expense. But who takes care of Sally's needs? Counsellor Alfred Ells says that most relationship problems are one-way problems - one person loving, caring, or giving too much for the wrong reason. It rarely works. One-way relationships are usually a cause or a result of imperfect love, not an indication of true, unconditional love. And they have deep roots in past traumatic events and family life. One-Way Relationships offers healing and lasting answers to the hidden causes of such unbalanced and one-sided relationship problems.
