Couples and families worldwide have a constant electronic
connection to others, a fact that is influencing the concerns and
issues they bring to therapy. The authors of this resource help
mental health practitioners to better deal with concerns such as
online infidelity, online dating, internet addictions, cyber
bulling, and many more by introducing the Couple and Family
Technology (CFT) framework, a multi-theoretical approach that
doesn't require clinicians to change their preferred clinical
approach. The CFT framework acknowledges the ways in which couples
navigate their relationship with technology and a partner
simultaneously, and it attends to, and in some cases incorporates
the role of technology in therapeutic ways. Included in the
authors' discussion of how different technologies affect
relationships is * a survey of what individuals' motivations of
usage are * an examination of the specific issues that emerge in
treatment * a study of the risks particularly relevant to intimate
relationships, and * an introduction of the first-ever
technology-based genogram. They also examine technological usage
across different developmental points in a couple's lifespan, with
attention given throughout to people from various cultural
backgrounds. Along with the CFT framework, the authors also
introduce a new discipline of family research: Couple and Family
Technology. This discipline integrates three broad perspectives in
family science and helps therapists maintain a systemic focus in
assessing and treating couples where issues of the Internet and new
media are problematic. Online resources can be accessed by
purchasers of the book and include videos, additional case studies,
glossary, and forms.
