First published in 1996, this enlightening book about
facilitating therapeutic change within the couple relationship
opens with a transcript of one of a series of lectures by Virginia
Satir. It presents readers with Satir s observations observations
that show the difference between thinking with systems in mind and
thinking linearly of process, interrelatedness and attitudes.
Readers will find these and the observations of contributors that
follow full of practical application potential.
In this title the editor brings together contributors who show
how to affect change in couples by explaining dynamics of the
male/female relationship and by expanding upon the roles of the
therapist. Specifically, contributors give readers information
about:
- Male/female relationships over a 30, 000-year history and how
history may have affected present day relationships between men and
women
- Therapists as merely resource providers who facilitate
self-discovery and self-solutions
- The necessity of marital therapy in maintaining stability and
change from both systemic-interpersonal and intrapersonal
perspectives
- Psychodynamic, affective and insight-oriented, marital
therapy
- The consultative conversation model and its relationship to the
change process in couples therapy
- Fostering change of psychological (emotional and verbal)
abuse
- Why women leave abusive relationships
- The use of a specific physical posture for assessing a couple s
interactive style
Therapists who work with couples will keep "Couples and Change"
within reach and refer to it often as they help couples develop
more healthy, satisfying relationships."
