DESCRIPTION: "An enlightening charting of the territory of couples' therapy. Destined to be an indespensible resource for training and for tracing the multiple influences in our own practices."
Carlos E. Siuzki, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry UCLA.
The first couples therapy text which allows real comparisons among different approaches due to a standard structure across chapters involving an analysis of a single case. The book demonstrates a rich variety of interventions available for treating relationship problems. Treatment approaches are divided into psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral and integrative therapies.

For students or professional counsellors and therapists who want to improve their practice with couples, and practitioners at all levels will find this book clinically enlightening.

"This volume will help us take several large steps forward in the field's evolving quest to enhance therapeutic effectiveness not only through the expansion of therapeutic methods, but through the expansion of therapist's minds." 

Alan S. Gurman, University of Wisconsin Medical School
