Title: Couples Therapy
Description: Help couples work toward establishing successful, fulfilling relationships using Couples Therapy, a practical, skill-based book. Based on the latest research but also integrating a variety of theoretical orientations, this book shows students and practicing therapists how to build effective interventions with couples.

Using theories and findings from research, author Linda Berg-Cross bases her integrative approach on the four basic cornerstones of relationships: resiliency, development of social support, adaptability, and self-fulfillment. She then builds on each cornerstone to explore common issues that can lead to trouble within relationships, including anger, depression, anxiety, parenting, home and paid work, in-laws, communication, sexuality, and spirituality. Chapter features also include self-assessment questionnaires that therapists can easily use with clients, therapeutic exercises that couples can use either in sessions or on their own to set goals for improvement, and recommended books and videos for clients.

Therapeutic strategies are presented through case examples, detailed intervention techniques, outlines that detail how to run couples groups, and questions that deepen the clinician's understanding of the issues covered in the chapter.
