In Becoming Partners: Marriage \u0026amp; its Alternatives, pioneering humanistic psychologist Carl R. Rogers chronicles the intimate lives of real couples — married, cohabiting, commune-dwelling, and more — drawing on candid interviews to present a sweeping, empathetic portrait of human connection in all its complexity. Rogers argues that no single model of relationship holds a monopoly on meaning or fulfilment, and that the essential ingredient in any lasting bond is a courageous commitment to openness, honesty, and mutual growth.\n\nWritten with the same warmth and intellectual rigour that distinguished On Becoming a Person, this landmark work applies Rogers' celebrated person-centred philosophy to the intimate sphere, urging readers to shed inherited assumptions about love and commitment. Rogers illustrates how relationships thrive not through rigid convention but through radical authenticity — a proposition as challenging as it is liberating. For anyone who has ever questioned whether the partnership they inhabit is truly the one they have chosen, this book poses a quietly revolutionary question: what kind of partner are you becoming?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203390218459,"sku":"2026200013545-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/86c0fd46-5dac-4aeb-81d0-0a44f80ad2c4.png?v=1788148259","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013545-secondhand-becoming-partners-marriage-its-alternatives","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
