It is a guide for singles. He also has a book out for couples. Basically, he takes you on a journey from your infancy through childhood to adulthood and indicates various "wounds" along the way i.e. emotional scars.
His theories are based on the concept of the "Imago" partner/mate/lover. That is a sort of mirror image of you, your ideal mate. The old saying "opposites attract" comes into play a bit here. For example, maybe at one stage in your childhood, your parent(s) were overbearing and kept a tight reign on you and you eventually rebelled against them and thus your relationships seem to be at a distance. The opposite might be a person whose parent(s) were carefree and let them come and go as they pleased while denying them affection... this person develops a need to cling to any sort of relationship they can.
There are a ton more examples of these as well as exercises throughout the book. I highly recommend this book to those of you wishing to sharpen your mind with regards to relationships. It's not technically a PUA book, but I found it way more valuable than that. Check it out at your library or Amazon has used copies for a penny.
Best of luck,
