Becoming Partners by Carl Rogers. - Using interviews in the partner's own words, the author gives the reader a series of slices, pictures, perceptions--of relationships, breakdowns, restructurings--in a wide variety of partnerships. These are followed by his own incisive commentary and summation. The interviews span a variety of relationships, among others the author's own marriage, conventional, long-lived and successful; commune group marriages, a triangle, a quartet, a racially mixed etc. And at no time does Dr. Rogers attempt to pass judgment on whether the unions are good or bad: they simply exist , and that is enough.
