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.
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.

The primary purpose of this book is to provide a state-of-the-art look at the study of consciousness, which is in the midst of a great renaissance. While honoring Jerome Singer's impressive career in psychology, this volume demonstrates the broad and integrative influence the study of consciousness is having across a variety of subdisciplines of psychology--experimental, personality, developmental, social, and clinical. The contributors to this volume represent both pioneers in the study of consciousness and contemporary researchers whose work has followed in the spirit of their predecessors' seminal work. This book will serve as a landmark end-of-the-century statement about psychology's understanding of the role of consciousness in affective and cognitive processes, the development of imagination in children, and its application to the practice of psychotherapy.

Exploring the life and times of author Robert Louis Stevenson, The Proper Pirate takes readers on a psychological journey from the writer's clerical and constricted upbringing to a life of imagination and wonder culminating in the South Seas island of Samoa. Drawing on contemporary theories of identity development, Jefferson A. Singer traces how Stevenson overcame Victorian dualities of piety versus passion in both his personal life and artistic works, gradually edging toward a more Modernist and complicated moral vision. This first full-length psychobiographical study of Stevenson follows the trajectory of his life, all while highlighting how key memories and conflicts within his personality shaped the narrative structure and themes of some of his most celebrated works, including: Treasure Island, (The) Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, A Child's Garden of Verses, and Kidnapped. Stevenson's relationships to his parents, his wife Fanny, and circle of intimate friends also play a prominent role in this investigation of his emerging identity and artistic body of work. Drawing on Stevenson's own treasure trove of personal correspondence, memoirs, essays, novels, stories and poems, as well as historical documents, biographies, and critical studies, Singer utilizes his background as a clinical psychologist and researcher in personality science to provide new and informative insights into the great writer's psychological development. In doing so, he helps to unlock the mystery of how a sickly youth confined to the "land of the counterpane" grew up to become the author of some of the world's most beloved and enduring works of adventure and fantasy.
