This up-to-date, highly readable, theory-based, and application
oriented book fills a crucial void in literature on couple therapy.
Few books in the couple therapy market bridge the gap between
theory and practice; texts tend to lean in one direction or the
other, either emphasizing theory and research with little practical
application, or taking a cookbook approach that describes specific
techniques and interventions that are divorced from any conceptual
or theoretical base. However, couples therapy requires a high
degree of abstract/conceptual thinking, as well as ingenuity,
inventiveness and skill on the part of the therapist. Case Studies
in Couples Therapy blends the best of all worlds: clinical
applications with challenging and diverse couples that have been
derived from the most influential theories and models in couples
and family therapy, all written by highly experienced and respected
voices in the field. In Case Studies in Couples Therapy, readers
will grasp the essentials of major theories and approaches in a few
pages and then see how concepts and principles are applied in the
work of well-known clinicians. The case studies incorporate a wide
variety of couples from diverse backgrounds in a number of
different life situations. It is simultaneously narrow (including
specific processes and interventions applied with real clients) and
broad (clearly outlining a broad array of theories and concepts) in
scope, and the interventions in it are directly linked to
theoretical perspectives in a clear and systematic way. Students
and clinicians alike will find the theoretical overview sections of
each chapter clear and easy to follow, and each chapter's thorough
descriptions of effective, practical interventions will give
readers a strong sense of the connections between theory and
practice.
