Product Description:
Now in a revised and expanded third edition, this acclaimed handbook and clinical text provides comprehensive coverage of the full range of couple therapy interventions. Noted contributors, many of whom developed the approaches they describe, combine clear conceptual and historical exposition with hands-on presentations of therapeutic strategies and techniques. Chapters in the new edition adhere even more closely to a uniform structure, facilitating easy comparison of different therapeutic models, and have been extensively rewritten to reflect the latest conceptual, clinical, and empirical advances. Entirely new chapters cover structural¿strategic, transgenerational, narrative, solution-focused, brief integrative, and affective¿reconstructive approaches; prevention and psychoeducation; interventions with families during and after divorce; multicultural couple therapy; and treatment of clients with bipolar disorder as well as other psychiatric and medical problems.
Summary: Clinical Handbook of Couple Therapy - 3rd edition
Rating: 5
Excellent quality, extremely well-written and does a great job of covering the “territory” of couple therapy. Material is up to date with the latest from Gottman, narrative therapy and emotionally focused therapy as well as 12 chapters devoted to special populations and problems. I found it to be an informative, interesting and enjoyable read. Would recommend it without reservation.
Summary: Good service!

Rating: 4
This is a collection of chapters written about couple and marital therapy. The chapters are authored by recognized experts in the different therapies, and contain theoretical background, techniques, and case examples. It provides a general overview of the therapies, without going in great detail about any of them.
