Product Description

Product Description

Harness the power of an integrative approach to couples counseling!

Why do marriages fail? The behaviorist or cognitive therapist explains that unhappy couples have self-defeating ways of thinking about their spouses and themselves. The sociologically oriented counselor points to the impact of social trends and dramatic changes in child-rearing and social expectations. A therapist oriented toward psychodynamics or systems theory sees the destructive patterns of childhood replayed in the marriage, with spouses taking on rigid roles. The pastoral or humanist counselor believes that partners who cannot experience self-fulfillment through commitment and trust will feel less love and grow more and more disconnected. Couples Therapy, Second Edition, brings together all these points of view to make a unified whole.

This integrative approach proposes a new model of successful marriage based on four cornerstones: resiliency, social support, adaptability, and self-fulfillment. Weaving together theory and research, Couples Therapy, Second Edition, explores how common issues can lead to trouble in relationships. It suggests specific interventions so therapists can teach clients to deal with such problem areas as anger management, domestic violence, depression, anxiety, parenting conflicts, in-laws, work pressures, and sexual dissatisfaction.

Couples Therapy, Second Edition, offers a sound theoretical framework as well as practical ideas. Through clinical vignettes and up-to-date research, it makes the common conflicts and developmental stages of marriage so understandable that it can be profitably read by clients as well as counselors. Its invaluable resources for the couples therapist include:
  • end-of-chapter professional development questions
  • therapeutic exercises
  • answers to frequently asked professional and ethical questions
  • intervention suggestions for the therapist
  • self-assessment questionnaires
  • book and video recommendations on each chapter topic
Written in clear, readable prose, Couples Therapy, Second Edition, offers practical help for the experienced clinician as well as theoretical overviews for the counselor in training.

Comprehensive and very interesting book! 23 April 2002
By Andreas Fellner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I can really recommend this book! Being a psychologist myself, I have always been on the alert for integrative approaches to couples therapy. This book is one of them! The author skillfully blends psychological theories and studies with her daily experience as a therapist. Especially interesting are the following features:
- A solid foundation in research findings
- Case studies with illuminating therapist interventions
- Self explorations
- Sample Workshop charts (if you decide to teach parts of the book in a workshop)
- A comprehensive bibliography both for couples and therapists
- An eclectic approach, integrating cognitive-behavior, sociocognitive, psychodynamic and humanistic therapy approaches

If you need suggestions for working with couples, I am sure you will find some of then in this book. Taking everything together, Linda Berg-Cross truly succeeded in writing a comprehensive book about couples therapy!
