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.

Developing caring and healthy sexuality. Anticipating and preventing relationship deterioration.
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.
