Success for Modern Day Relationships: Working with Dating, Engaged, and Married Couples by Barbara R. Cohl, PhD, is a compilation of practical, effective, empirically tested techniques and interventions that allow a therapist to evaluate and treat an array of marital issues. By using colorful and instructive vignettes derived from her private practice, Dr. Cohl provides lessons she has learned from happy and successful couples, and teaches her couples as well as her readers how to avoid the pitfalls that unhappy couples share. Success for Modern Day Relationships covers all of the different stages of romantic relationships, from the first date to engagement, marriage, and sometimes to separation and divorce. Through her book, Cohl helps readers to essentially take the guesswork out of creating a successful relationship.
