On The Recipe: Love Made Simple
Dr. Rick Blum has given couples a new recipe for building and maintaining their relationship -- as well as an escape plan in case things don't get healed. If you are working on your connection or thinking of getting hitched, this book is for you.

This is a "must have " for those who are having relationship issues and cannot find their way to break the stalemate. It's not about who's right or wrong, it's " How To Work With The Negatives" in a relationship and still survive intact. Terrific and informative for laymen and professionals. Highly recommend this most clear and precise practical book.....

On The Tao of Your Psychotherapy Practice
Resistance comes to us from all directions, in our businesses and in our personal lives. In his book, Dr. Blum helps us to understand how to take the resistance and turn it to our advantage. He teaches us how to make subtle shifts in the ways by which we guide our thoughts and our conversations in order to move from resistance to gentle yet effective resolution. His ideas are clever and refreshing, easy to absorb and to learn, yet so full of wisdom that I found myself excited about having finally discovered them and about the prospect of reading much more from Dr. Rick Blum.
