to help couples adapt to parenthood while minimizing the inevitable
stress on the relationship. Complete with content, rationales,
activities, and client materials, its flexible format allows for
home and office visits and phone/online support across the
transition, starting during pregnancy and continuing into early
infancy. Activities build on themes of caring, change, and
cooperation as couples learn to identify and address sources of
conflict, solve infant-care problems, and to become optimal
partners as well as optimal parents. The book's hands-on
presentation includes chapter highlights, boxed "Practice Tips" and
"Clinical Connections" sections, client handouts and worksheets,
and examples of clinician interactions with couples. The sessions
described in Clinical Guide to Helping New Parents: The Couple CARE
for Parents Program are organized to meet challenges and reinforce
skills in key areas including: Developing realistic and shared
expectations. Promoting positive communications and self-change.

responsive parenting Reviewing personal and social support.

Cross-Cultural Family Research and Practice broadens the
theoretical and clinical perspectives on couple and family
cross-cultural research with insights from a diverse set of
disciplines, including psychology, sociology, communications,
economics, and more. Examining topics such as family migration,
acculturation and implications for clinical intervention, the book
starts by providing an overarching conceptual framework, then moves
into a comparison of countries and cultures, with an overview of
cross-cultural studies of the family across nations from a range of
specific disciplinary perspectives. Other sections focus on
acculturation, migrating/migrated families and their descendants,
and clinical practice with culturally diverse families.
This book provides a complete guide to self-regulatory couple
therapy (SRCT), an innovative clinical approach that maximizes the
couple's capacity for self-directed change. Presented is a flexible
framework for treating couples effectively in as few as one or
two--and as many as 25--sessions of highly focused work. Featuring
step-by-step intervention guidelines and helpful clinical examples,
the book demonstrates how to identify those couples for whom very
brief therapy is possible, how to focus in quickly on the processes
associated with relationship distress, and how to integrate
additional therapeutic components for clients needing longer-term
help.
