New Title Addresses Relationship Crisis
with a Humorous, Pragmatic Method
Endorsed by John Gray, author of Men are from Mars, Women

San Diego, August 23, 2000: Statistics continue to emphasize that
American families are in trouble. The divorce rate soars, teens are alienated,
often violent or suicidal, adults spend less time communicating effectively.
What can be done outside the therapistsí office to relieve alienation
and anxiety? The Game of Truth: A Humorous Guide to Self-discovery,
is an invaluable tool as well as a Maintenance Kit for individuals and
families. Based on the motto íknow thyself,í it offers field-tested questions,
self-diagnosis, feedback tools, evaluation cards, pithy sayings and spicy
cartoons. Games in the book can be played alone or in a group of up to
8.
What sets this book apart from others is that it is lighthearted,
pragmatic and fun! It promotes honest communication, provides avenues
for interaction and breaks through the limiting social habits that keep
people from developing empathy.
Questions such as What are the worst sins of our society? Are
you intelligent? and Do you tell people the truth, or what they
want to hear? get to the heart of playersí perceptions and beliefs
about their bodies, sex, friendship, work, morality, and culture.
Veteran psychoanalyst, Francisco Bontempi and cutting edge educator
Annette Segal share their successes in group-work covering such topics
as sex, power, money, family, image and culture. Readers discover what
desires, fantasies, needs and habits affect their public and private lives.
