In Why Love Stops, How Love Stays, Barbara T. Kreedman, Ph.D. presents a truly new and powerful approach to working through both individual and relationship difficulties. Kreedman’s focus is different from other therapists, in that she sees beyond the immediate problem and goes right to the core.
The reader addresses these questions:
- Where the person or couple are stuck—the initial problem.
- Why the person or couple are stuck—what is being held onto and what are their perceptions of self and their partner.
- What prevents the individual or couple from moving forward—looking at historic material which keeps the person from moving forward.
- Gives the individual or couple tools that will last a lifetime and frees them from their cyclical patterns of getting themselves or the couple into problems.

Throughout her book, Kreedman opens the door to her office, invites the reader inside, and in detail reveals her therapeutic process. She wants readers to be able to take control of their own destiny and she does that by giving them the tools that she uses to help those in her private practice.
