I liked reading Hendrix and thought he made a lot of sense. But I don't think Imago is all that realistic. First, it's pretty limited unless you go on the weekend couple's retreat and pay a good chunk of change. Second, I've yet to meet a guy who wants to spend that much time and energy to help me work through MY childhood issues. And honestly, I don't want to spend my relationship time doing that either.
I'm rather independent though. And a true believer in Self-Actualization. Through Al-Anon I learned to parent myself. Also, if I have to spend that much time and effort communicating my intentions and my needs to my partner, I probably need to get a new partner.
I could see how it would be great to teach kids that method of communication though.
