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.
This new edition of A Clinician's Guide to Systemic Sex Therapy
integrates the latest empirical research from the field of sex
therapy and demonstrates how clinicians can optimize their
treatment for a wide range of clients. Grounded in the Intersystem
Approach, the book incorporates the multifaceted perspectives of
the individual client, couple, or family. It considers every domain
of assessment and treatment: biology, psychology, the intimate
relationship, family-of-origin, and larger contextual factors
contributing to any sexual/relational issue. This revised edition
contains 13 chapters consistent with the DSM-5 definitions of
sexual disorders and features new content on areas including LGBTQ+
issues, non-monogamous relationships, intersex clients, and an
increased focus on issues surrounding sexual diversity. The authors
of this award-winning text have set out a cutting-edge framework
for clinicians looking to develop a comprehensive understanding of
sexual issues, which will be an essential reference point for
beginning and seasoned therapists alike. The 2nd edition of A
Clinician's Guide to Systemic Sex Therapy won the AASECT Book Award
and Best Integrative Approach to Sex Therapy Award, 2017
Techniques for the Couple Therapist features many of the most
prominent psychotherapists today, presenting their most effective
couple therapy interventions. This book provides clinicians with a
user-friendly quick reference with an array of techniques that can
be quickly read and immediately used in session. The book includes
over 50 chapters by experts in the field on the fundamental
principles and techniques for effective couple therapy. Many of the
techniques focus on common couple therapy processes such as
enactments, communication, and reframing. Others focus on specific
presenting problems, such as trauma, sexual issues, infidelity,
intimate partner violence, and high conflict. Students, beginning
therapists, and seasoned clinicians will find this pragmatic
resource invaluable in their work with couples.

Focused Genograms provides a cutting-edge guide to utilizing the
Intersystem Approach meta-framework and attachment theory to
construct focused genograms. Focused genograms are graphic
representations of intergenerational family interactions, and can
be tailored to themes. This new volume includes nearly two decades
of research, clinical experience, and theory; including rapidly
expanding empirical support of attachment theory, gender, and
trauma theory. It will allow the reader to comprehensively develop
assessment and treatment planning for a wide range of
client-systems. The clinical approach to using Focused Genograms
traces intergenerational patterns of attachment and helps the
therapist create an attachment-focused bond with client-systems of
all types.

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

This third edition of Couples in Treatment helps readers
conceptualize and treat couples from multiple perspectives and with
a multitude of techniques. The authors do not advocate any single
approach to couple therapy and instead present basic principles and
techniques with wide-ranging applicability and the power to invite
change, making this the most useful text on integrative, systemic
couple therapy. Throughout the book the authors consider the
individual, interactional, and intergenerational systems of any
case. Gerald Weeks' Intersystems Model, a comprehensive,
integrative, and contextual meta framework, can be superimposed
over existing therapy approaches. It emphasizes principles of
therapy and can facilitate assessing, conceptualizing couples'
problems, and providing helpful interventions. Couple therapists
are encouraged to utilize the principles in this book to enhance
their therapeutic process and fit their approach to the client,
rather than forcing the client to fit their theory.

produce change in their patients' lives. Grounded in the
Intersystem Approach, the book considers the biology, psychology,
couple dyad, family-of-origin, and larger contextual factors of any
sexual disorder or issue. Each chapter examines the definition and
description of a sexual disorder or issue, its etiology,
assessment, treatment, research, and future directions. This
thoroughly revised edition presents 18 updated chapters consistent
with the DSM-5 and features new content on sexuality and aging,
infidelity, sexual interest/arousal disorder, disability, and

their interplay with sexual functioning. An essential text in the
field, Systemic Sex Therapy sets out a conceptual framework for
graduate students in couple and family therapy programs looking to
develop a comprehensive, integrative understanding of sexual
issues.
