Another must have for therapist working with couples. Great book to learn the basics of what to do in therapy. book shipped fast. Happy that I bought this book. helps to understand the couple dynamic and how to present self as a therapist in that dynamic. Even though it is difficult to do the first time, having this book to look at and glance my highlighted notes before a couple session helps.

Thoroughly written and a must for anyone working with couples. I turn to this book on a regular basis either for a refresher or for guidance. A great resource to keep on your bookshelf!

As a graduate student, I found this book is extremely comprehensive on the subject of couples therapy, both from a historical and a theraputic practice perspective. It uses copious amounts of statistical figures and experimental results to to reinforce even its most basic premises. For this reason, it can be a very slow and burdensome read at times. I found myself rereading passages multiple times so I could reinforce the point that the author was trying to make. Overall, it was still a very informative text.

My professor taught the class better than the book. But overalloverall thus bookbook is okay. It was required for one of my classes for my master degree. It is full of great information to help you become more of a competent counselor.

You could not ask for a better clinical handbook. Refreshing to read a clinical work that is not infected with politics, but is focused on theory, practice and empirical data. Well written, well constructed.

In depth analysis of issues that impact couples. Includes thorough evidence based treatment plans outlined with steps. A great book for any therapist who deals with couples or families.

This is free in a PDF version on line. But I bought the book because I found it easier to read as the paper version.

Not a great read. It was if the authors were trying to impress you with how intellectual they are. If you want a practical, hands on, book this is not it.
