This book provides a fresh analysis of the demography, health and well-being of a major African city. It brings a range of disciplinary approaches to bear on the pressing topics of urban poverty, urban health inequalities and urban growth. The approach is primarily spatial and includes the integration of environmental information from satellites and other geospatial sources with social science and health survey data. The authors Ghanaians and outsiders, have worked to understand the urban dynamics in this burgeoning West African metropolis, with an emphasis on urban disparities in health and living standards. Few cities in the global South have been examined from so many different perspectives. Our analysis employs a wide range of GIScience methods, including analysis of remotely sensed imagery and spatial statistical analysis, applied to a wide range of data, including census, survey and health clinic data, all of which are supplemented by field work, including systematic social observation, focus groups, and key informant interviews. This book aims to explain and highlight the mix of methods, and the important findings that have been emerging from this research, with the goal of providing guidance and inspiration for others doing similar work in cities of other developing nations.

First published in 1996. This books presents a problem-solving model of marriage and couples therapy called the Intersystem Model, which assesses and treats couples' problems from individual, interactional, and intergenerational perspectives. The authors address problems of commitment, intimacy, anger, and conflict, and the complexities relating to the treatment of depression: addictions and extramarital sexuality, marital adjustments to aging, and problems of inhibited sexual desire. They suggest techniques therapists can use to resolve problems that may occur in couples therapy and ways couple can move toward a higher level of functioning and personal growth.
The field of sex therapy has experienced tremendous growth in the last 20 years . The use of the term "sex therapy" for most clinicians brings several well-known therapists to mind and is associated with the treatment of a fairly limited number of sexual problems. The view of sex therapy as a profession has had both positive and negative consequences. The editor's state that the purpose in writing and editing this book was to build on the work of individually oriented sex therapy by adding the systems perspective. This book, then, represents an attempt at the integration of sex and marital or systems therapy.
In some ways the development of the theory and practice of marital therapy seems like a relative newcomer to those clinicians who practice systems therapy. Most of the books in the field stress the total family as the unit of treatment in terms of understanding the dynamics of family interactions and intervention techniques. For the past 15 or 20 years, clinicians interested in systems work sought training in "family" therapy programs and at "family" therapy workshops. This training led to a dramatic shift in the practice of psychotherapy away from the individual as the unfit of treatment to the family. Much less emphasis has been given to the marital dyad or couple as the unit of treatment.
Based on the authors' work at the prestigious PENN Council for Relationships (formerly the Marriage Council of Philadelphia), this book is their latest volume to focus on marriage and couples therapy using the Intersystem Model, which assesses and treats couples' problems from individual, interactional, and intergenerational perspectives. The book addresses the most common problems confronting contemporary marital relationship therapists: commitment, intimacy, anger, and conflict. The authors also address the complexities relating to the treatment of depression in conjoint therapy: addictions and extramarital sexuality, marital adjustments to life changes associated with aging, and problems of inhibited sexual desire, while including the often difficult task of instilling hope in the therapeutic process. In each chapter, the authors balance the theoretical and practical, providing the clinician with a solid conceptual background as well as effective techniques for resolving the problems that occur so often in couples therapy. And the book does not stop with problem resolution; it also suggests ways for couples to move toward a higher level of functioning and personal growth.
Emphasis here is problems presented by couples on extramarital affairs, conflicts, violence, sexual problems, and divorce. Discusses lesbian couples, effects of divorce on children and other topics in the context of an intersystem approach. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
