Her documentary, based on her personal observations of her group experience provide an insightful look at marriage and marriage therapy. She combines her group observations with a commentary about Dr. Coché's work and interviews with other marital experts.

This column, "Making Life Work," has been running for two years and covers topics which include happiness, emotional abuse, anxiet and depression, shyness, being successfully single, addictions, and a variety of problems encountered by many adults.
