Synopsis

With its extensive coverage of virtually every aspect of couples counseling, this new book offers a broad view of this developing field. "COUNSELING AND THERAPY FOR COUPLES" is one of the first books to propose a single structure that brings together the major theoretical viewpoints for couples counseling. Young and Long offer an integrative model within an atheoretical context in which many types of couples are addressed--heterosexual, same-sex, culturally mixed, married, and unmarried.

"The strengths... are its readable style, case examples, detailing of assessment strategies, and focus on the actual "how-tos" of doing couples therapy/counseling."
