Positive Couple Therapy: Using We-Stories to Enhance Resilience
is a significant step forward in the couple literature. Utilizing a
strengths-based approach, it teaches therapists and couples a
unique method for uncovering positive potential within a
relationship. The authors demonstrate how We stories created,
recovered and made anew provide essential elements of connection.
With vivid imagery, these stories capture the couple s sense of
We-ness, highlighting memorable moments of compassion, acceptance,
and respect. A shared commitment to the We simultaneously builds
the relationship and enables each individual in the partnership to
feel a greater degree of both accountability and autonomy. Couples
that can find their stories, share them with each other, and then
carry them forward to family, friends, and a larger community are
likely to preserve a sense of mutuality that will thrive over a
lifetime of partnership.
Positive Couple Therapy provides simple and practical
instruction for reclaiming positive stories that can catalyze hope
in relationships that have become stressed and strained. The
authors weave together cutting edge thinking and research in
attachment theory, narrative therapy, neuroscience, and adult
development, as well as their own research and clinical experience
to present vivid case histories, step-by-step strategies,
exercises, questionnaires, and interview techniques. They cover a
range of contemporary couple experiences: couples in conflict, LGBT
partnerships, deployed and discharged military couples, and couples
at various points across the life span. The authors unique Me (to
US) Scale, a 10-item tool that assesses the degree of mutuality a
couple possesses at the start of treatment, gives therapists of any
theoretical orientation the ability to put this intervention to
immediate use.
