Psychotherapist Dina Bachelor Evan claims that 98 percent of the couples who come to her for counseling stay together, giving credence to the advice she offers in Break Up or Break Through.

Written specifically for a gay and lesbian audience, its rules for good relationships evoke universal self-help themes, such as respecting boundaries, overcoming personal limitations, and creating intimacy. With its breathing exercises, “Spiritual Relationship Personal Inventory” tests, and upbeat chakra-talk, this volume should appeal to New Age couples, gay or straight.
