5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent description of the process of ending relationship, 24 Mar 1999

By A Customer

This book is an extremely good, very solid and intelligent description of the dynamics and processes involved in the gradual disintegration of a romantic relationship. I am a marriage therapist and find this book to be refreshingly intellegent, atheoretical, nonmoralistic and unbiased analysis of what takes place when estrangement creeps into and overtakes a once- viable connection between lovers. It is a solid, unprejudiced depiction of the process from both partners' points of views, without being tritely subjective. It is very readable, but certainly not simple-minded in its content. Strongly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Academic study, but so well-written you may not notice, 19 April 2006

By	S. M. White (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book at the same time as "The Relate Guide to Separation". I'd describe the Relate book as a typical self-help guide: useful, but trite in places but with some helpful exercises, if you can be bothered.
"Uncoupling" on the other hand is a powerful, well-written treatise on the patterns behind break-ups. It is more academic than the Relate book (with numerous end-notes and references to other works), but it's comforting to realise that the emotional reactions (for example, the way we re-write our relationship's history, with the benefit of hindsight) are common to many other break-ups. It helped me understand what I'm going through.

And on top of that, I finally understood the value of sociology! I'll never mock again.

5.0 out of 5 stars The last few chapters of the book of relationships., 13 April 1998

By A Customer

I'm very picky and critical of self-help books, but Vaughan's Uncoupling is the next best thing to a counsellor. More than a psych book, it is the definite beginning-middle-end about how couples become uncoupled.

I picked up this book by instinct, as I needed to read something--anything--about how relationships end. I don't care about the why's anymore; I just wanted to understand what was happenning in my own relationship.

This book will not tell you how to save your relationship, or whether it's worth saving or not. Vaughan argues that there is a pattern to how relationships end. And in the telling, she gives the story that makes sense of everything--and that is all we need when we go row into the choppy waters of a faltering relationship.
