"As a practicing psychiatrist and psychiatric researcher, I am confronted multiple times a day with men and women struggling with relationships. They may be concerned about romantic involvements, family relationships, or even career-related decisions. The key question that has them in conflict of such a profound dimension that it produces both psychological and biological distress is "Do I stay or do I go?" Dr. Occhetti has skillfully woven practical clinical wisdom into an entertaining and instructive book. I cannot imagine readers or concerned friends and family of readers who are in the midst of such a dilemma not benefiting immensely from the years of knowledge that Dr. Occhetti has shared in this book. Once people understand what makes them tick and what motivates their partners, most are able to make more intelligent decisions about the most important thing in their lives - meaningful relationships. Do I Stay or Do I Go? is a must-read book for mental health professionals and health care professionals who see countless patients each day in emotional distress from relationships crises. Regrettably, it is not just the two parties involved that are torn apart by the dilemma of whether to end relationships. Children, stepchildren, parents, grandparents, co-workers, and society all suffer from the emotional drain and anger that occurs when relationships are struggling, flawed or ending….a masterful and entertaining book, dealing with one of life's greatest problems."
