Readers of this book will gain a practical integration of systems interventions, psychodynamic interventions, and psychoeducational thinking and interventions in relation to couples therapy. The author "upgrades" the traditional couple therapy model by addressing three areas of importance: explicit and early attention to the couple's process, unpacking that process via psychodynamic elucidation of underlying issues, and psychoeducational interventions aimed at teaching skills needed to improve empathy, communication, and problem-solving. The book also addresses serious mental illness and personality disorders, social issues, common problems seen in therapy, and initiating and ending therapy. It is intended for students in graduate courses and is equally as useful for professionals.
