  Highly readable , 10/10/2009
Reviewer: Fred Besthorn, M.Div., MSW, PHD
In her new volume Relationships that Heal, environmental activist, clinical social worker and energy practitioner Diane Tegtmeier has succeeded in explicating and integrating a deeply-colored, varied, and extensive amount of material. Her work draws broadly upon the cell membrane model to illustrate crucial ecological ideas of wholeness, interconnectedness and permeability. Tegtmeier's book is highly readable, richly metaphorical and imminently practical. It includes abundant examples from her own life and practice experience that will assist the interested reader and professional practitioner alike in understanding and applying these concepts to a wide-range of helping contexts.

  Eco-centric exuality , 10/10/2009
Reviewer: Marcella Danon
Tegtmeier offers a new point of view of sexuality—not an anthropocentric, but an ecocentric one. Here we have a guide to dealing with sexual issues in counseling and therapy processes that enable us to become more aware of our co-creative relationship with all life in Earth, honouring our power, and becoming more responsible toward ourselves and others.

  Clear set of tools , 10/10/2009
Reviewer: Patti Phillips
Using the cell membrane model, Diane has created a clear set of tools that are proving to be invaluable in my practice. She lays out guidelines that not only offer insight to shift uncomfortable situations, but also allow healing energy to enter.

  Wonderful book , 10/10/2009
Reviewer: Robert D. McKay MD
Diane Tegtmeier has written a wonderful book that will be of benefit to any practitioner who enters into healing relationships. She very cleverly uses the physiology of cell membranes to describe methods of fostering ethical interactions with our clients/patients. Diane also draws on her experiences to illustrate how good intentions alone may not adequately serve our patients/clients as well as not adequately protect us caregivers from charges of ethical violations. I foresee that the use of this book in the teaching setting by faculty and students in various disciplines of the Healing Arts will stimulate healthy discussions which will result in grounded, centered students who will be well prepared to deal with the complex issues that may arise in the course of being involved in healing relationships.

  A brilliant living-working manual , 02/11/2010
Reviewer: Sara Firman
Diane's definition of healing is a brilliant distillation of all that this book offers. For me, it is a working manual for on the ground (or in the water) practice. In her words: 'Healing is the collaborative, transformative process by which balance is restored as we become increasingly aware of our wholeness and interconnection with all life.' Bravo!
