Beskrivelse
This textbook provides undergraduate and graduate students with a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the primary models of couples counseling, allowing them to compare and contrast each theory alongside a single case.Designed to be the core text for couple therapy courses, the book begins by introducing the field as well as presenting Carissa and Steve, a couple whom readers will follow as each model is applied to their case. The chapters focus on 11 different theoretical models such as Bowen family systems theory, emotionally focused couple therapy, the Gottman method, solution-focused couples counseling, narrative couple therapy, and more, with expert therapists writing on each of these unique models. Each chapter addresses the history of the model, the conceptualization of problem formation, diversity considerations, and the conceptualization of problem resolution. With session transcripts throughout, this book allows training therapists to easily compare, contrast, and apply the most prevalent models in couples counseling.This textbook is a core text for graduate marriage and family therapy, mental health counseling, clinical psychology, and social work students. The book is also useful for practicing professionals who want to explore how to apply a specific model of counseling to couples.
