Investigating Advice on Communication Between Couples :
An 8 page paper comparing the theories of 5 self-help
relationship books to the findings of current communications
research reports. There are very good self-help books available
discussing the male-female romantic relationship, but the reader
does indeed need to be aware of the discrepancies of many of
them with both current communications research findings and
common sense. With the exception of Gray, every one of the
problems discussed in both the books and the communications
journal articles referenced for this paper has as its base a lack of
honesty on the part of at least one, and normally both involved
players. Whether that lack of honesty is intentional or not, it
nevertheless is there and blocks the path of any true and lasting
relationship. Bibliography lists 11 sources. Coupcom.wps

Love Is Never Enough, Or Is It? : An 8 page paper
discussing the book by Aaron T. Beck entitled, Love is Never
Enough. This book is based a cognitive therapy approach to
marriage counseling. Beck offers many constructive ideas and
exercises for the couple who wish to more fully understand
each other while ceasing to bring in their negative, and
pointless, emotions into the relationship. While this book may
apply to many people, if not all people in some way, it is
presumptuous to assume that love is “never enough.”

Ethical Issues in Counseling : In 15 pages the author
discusses that it is important for the counselor to leave behind
personal bias and opinion when in a counseling session. "It is
important to leave behind personal bias and opinion when
counseling. From a Christian counseling perspective, it is
important to help the client and not let personal opinion or bias
or religious affiliation cloud judgement. It is never acceptable
behavior to allow cultural, ethnic, or sexual bias to enter the
counseling session. Although the Christian counselor is in great
demand, he/she is at risk for placing his religious beliefs and
moral standard on the client. Counseling is a field on which
many individuals, both secular and Christian, rely. The
counselor must be ready to face difficult situations in which
he/she is in total disagreement with the client's lifestyle,
religious beliefs, ethnicity, or culture, and still be able to do
his/her job, and do it to the best of his/her ability." Bibliography
