Case Studies in Couples Therapy Theory-Based Approaches

"A wonderful book. With all the leading approaches from all the leading theorists, with illuminating case examples and clear discussions of applications, this is more than a survey of the field but a working encyclopedia. Excellent for students seeking to understand the varied terrain that is couple therapy, as well as for experienced practitioners and supervisors seeking to expand their thinking and clinical creativity." - Robert Taibbi, in private practice in Virginia, USA, and author of Doing Couple Therapy: Craft and Creativity in Work with Intimate Partners

"Case Studies in Couples Therapy provides a panoramic view of the most significant models of couples therapy. Each chapter follows an outline that clearly links theory and practice in an engaging format and allows for comparisons among models. Readers will find the content of the book to be very clear and will be especially enlightened by the inclusion of material-otherwise almost impossible to find-on the implementation, process, and stages of treatment." - Gerald R. Weeks, University of Nevada-Las Vegas and coauthor of Couples in Treatment: Techniques and Approaches for Effective Practice

"This book offers, under one cover, descriptions of the main current approaches to couple therapy and does so in an interesting and engaging way. Cases are covered according to a common outline, helping the reader to easily compare different approaches. A great book for students and practitioners to gain greater clinical skills and theoretical knowledge." - Leslie S. Greenberg, York University Toronto, Ontario, Canada

"Written in an accessible and animated style, this stimulating book garners a plethora of theoretic models in couples counselling and presents them, chapter by chapter, as an invitation for clinicians to learn, consider and assimilate new concepts and principles into their own work. The editors have gathered together a long and illustrious list of contributors...The contributors were asked to write to a structured set of guidelines - which for me keeps the book satisfyingly neat - but to include, in addition "a roadmap of how they work." There is thus a sense of creativity and imagination that suffuses the book. [This book] is at once cogent and intelligent, exciting and innovative." - Yvonne Farley, Sexual and Relationship Therapy
