In Couple Burnout, Ayala Malach Pines offers a unique model to combat relationship burnout. Drawing from extensive research and years of clinical work, Pines describes the phenomenon of couple burnout; its causes, danger signs, and symptoms; and the most effective strategies therapists can use with couples. Distinguishing burnout from problems caused by clinical depression or other pathologies, Pines utilizes three major clinical perspectives that are used by couple therapists - psychodynamic, systems, and behavioral - while also focusing on the social-psychological and existential perspectives of couples' problems. Using dozens of case studies for illustrations, Couple Burnout offers detailed instructions for therapists interested in applying this conceptual framework to their work with individuals, couples, and couple groups. Issues of gender differences in burnout, of balancing intimate relationships with careers, and of burnout in sex are addressed in individual chapters.
