I, for one, trust that Michele would not do that. Having read her book TSSM, I think she's above that. I think she'd be the first to agree that, as good as her books are, they can't be all things to all people, and they aren't the only resources needed by people in our situations. I also think she'd be quick to recognize the power of Schnarch's approach. I haven't re-read SSM yet since reading PM, but I'm planning to re-read it with PM in mind, and I expect to find many parallels in terms of ideas, with different presentation. I think SSM was written to be very approachable for a wide audience. I haven't found PM to be opaque, but a number of folks here have posted that they found it a "hard read". It IS very deep, but I think the concepts are there for anyone who works at it. I do hope I'm not wrong... I think Michele is above the kind of professional jealousy that would have her ask us not to discuss other resources here. Just consider how many posts there have been about The Five Love Languages and other books. None of that has been killed here, that I've seen. So I think we're pretty safe in discussing this here.
