Short-Term Couple Therapy

This practice-oriented book brings together representatives of the major family therapy approaches to demonstrate the nuts-and-bolts of their short-term work with couples. Filling a crucial gap in the literature at a time when nearly half of all mental health referrals involve marital conflict, the book is structured around extensive case excerpts and clinical examples. Noted contributors show how they choose appropriate interventions for embattled couples and gain maximum leverage from each therapeutic move.
