Local Writer Featured in O, The Oprah Magazine and Reader’s Digest Launches her New Book,
The First Argument:
Cutting to the Root of Intimate Conflict
SANTA ROSA, Ca. – October 3, 2006 – Even the most committed relationships can have unresolved conflicts and those conflicts can be traced to the couple’s very first argument. That is the personal and professional wisdom Sharon M. Rivkin, local writer and Marriage and Family Therapist, shares in her new book, The First Argument: Cutting to the Root of Intimate Conflict. Featured in O, The Oprah Magazine and Reader’s Digest, The First Argument is based on Rivkin’s extensive knowledge and expertise as a Marriage and Family Therapist and her own personal experience. According to Rivkin, peeling the layers of an issue to get to the “story-below-the-story” is the key to unraveling and understanding what’s at the core of dispute.
Rivkin explains exactly how this original approach to conflict resolution is accomplished by sharing the real-life stories experienced by Rivkin and her clients. Through her private therapy practice, Rivkin has helped countless couples not only resolve their conflicts, but solve the mystery of why the same issues keep arising. And now, Rivkin shares this information with the general public in her clearly written and enlightening must-read book, The First Argument. The First Argument can be purchased at www.thefirstargument.com.
