Opis

Handbook of Clinical Issues in Couple Therapy is a comprehensive overview of emerging issues that impact couple therapy, all in a single volume. While other guides concentrate more on the approaches themselves, this invaluable source provides the latest research and perspectives every clinician needs when dealing with challenging issues often found in practice. This carefully referenced book is divided into five important areas and discusses in detail several of the most crucial aspects of each major issue. Issues explored include intimate partner violence, posttraumatic stress disorder and its effect on couple relationships, divorce therapy, remarriage and cohabitation issues, cultural issues and couple therapist training. Handbook of Clinical Issues in Couple Therapy is valuable, insightful reading for couple therapists, family therapists, counselors, psychologists, social workers, pastoral counselors, educators, and graduate students.
