I can't tell you how much I'm benefiting from your book. It is superb. It has taken me to revisit places that still need healing, and fresh wounds as well. It has not been easy, but I have gone where it has taken me.

In her book, The Art of Relationships, Ms. Fritsen has taken the classroom experience and recreated it into a textbook for life. It is not a read; it is a beautiful journey within self. It is also not a book to be shelved after completion; rather, it is a Bible for relationships that should be kept within hands' reach and revisited on a regular basis. This book can be opened to any page, and Ms. Fritsen's words and down-to-earth insights will take the reader where he or she needs to go.

I often have hoped for an outline or blueprint to share with my clients so that they would have a guideline for building healthy, loving relationships. Jan Fritsen has created a wonderful workbook that I would recommend to all my clients before they embark on their next relationship. I believe by using this book, they can avoid past mistakes and find the type of relationship that we all long for.

Jan Fritsen has created a work of art… after her many years of teaching Human Relationships to adults and college students at Saddleback College, she has created a clear and precise format to healthy relationships. Her expertise spells it out in a straightforward language to comprehend how we experience human relationships from infancy to adulthood. Her "action items" give the reader the opportunity to recreate what was not given to them in their childhood, to have and achieve what they desire now in their adult relationships. This book will change how you experience relationships – for the better.
--Dr. M.P. Wylie, author of Journey to Love: Attracting & Building Loving Relationships 
 
This book is excellent for anyone considering a new relationship or beginning a new relationship and especially for college students and young people at various stages of their relationships. It would make an excellent text for a college class but is also good reading for an individual outside the classroom. I was especially impressed with the way Jan made complicated psychodynamic concepts vivid and understandable. She made very complex material accessible and lively.
--Vivian Clecak, M.S.W., L.C.S.W., M.F.T., Executive Director of Human Options, a women’s shelter,.
 
The exercises with the circles (mapping your relationships) are a great tool to help people clarify past, present and possible future relationships.
--Frances Bolles Haynes, author of 101 Salary Secrets and 101 Toughest Interview Questions
 
Jan's years of experience as a teacher, clinician and counselor are evident throughout this creative work. She addresses complex topics and provides workable strategies for a variety of relationship issues.
-- Mindy Bingham, Author and Publisher, Academic Innovations
 
I remember someone once saying, “If only I’d known then what I know now…” What if we took that chance to know now? This is the chance. This is the moment when the lights come on and we get that delicious opportunity to “get it”. The river of life is easier to navigate when someone hands you the oar that has been at your feet all the time and teaches you how to row. Don’t read this book once. Read it twice. Share the journey. That’s what you wanted to do in the first place, anyway!
--Margi Murray, M.A, M.S., RPC
 
Jan has taken her experience as a counselor, coach, professor and artist in this well written, enlightening and educational book to show clearly how relationships can become magnificent journeys and not something you cling to in order to survive! She discovers choices that can improve, heal or end relationships. She finds powerful answers to relationship issues regardless of whether you are single or in a relationship.
 --Sholeh Alizadeh, Ph.D., Director of the Re-Entry/Women’s Center, Saddleback College, CA

The book is sound and wise and readable and surprisingly entertaining for such a serious subject. It is helpful in a very practical way in addition to the internal shifts of understanding that a reader can make. I would like to read it again -- more carefully and more just for myself.
--Lydia Blair Pettis Human Options Program Director
