Clinical Handbook of Couple Therapy

This textbook is a very comprehensive look at couple counseling theories and techniques. The author does a wonderful job of citing diverse articles and addressing limitations. The content is well-written, albeit a little wordy, but the author thoroughly explains every bit of material.However, DO NOT BUY THIS ON KINDLE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OMG. I have seen the hardcopy of the book and it looks great. However, I downloaded a rental of this and I feel like I am reading a never-ending book. The display on other textbooks that I have digitally rented mimics the layout of the corresponding hardcopy. This digital download ONLY SHOWS YOU TWO PARAGRAPHS AT A TIME and I could not be more frustrated trying to outline a 50 page chapter a paragraph at a time. If you are someone who has centuries to kill then by all means download this text. My eyes are literally burning in my head after trying to get through chapter 21. Seriously. This digital format is why Visine & blue-light-blocking glasses were invented.If you prefer to read at your normal pace then I strongly advise you buy the hardcopy.

Got it for a course and it is very dense with info (which is good), but I also wish it had some real world or situational examples on how to use the techniques. Can get hard to read at times for me, but I love to learn about couples therapy and it's a great, educational and sturdy book!

Love the book but seriously, how much more difficult did the language need to be? It makes it too hard to follow or even understand at times. I like the techniques and examples but could've done with less encyclopedic jargon.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  The book condition is awful when you have plans to keep it as a resource for future use. And I paid full price for it! Was expecting a new book. That’s what I paid for.

Excellent textbook. Very comprehensive and well written and editd too. Provides a great introduction to many couples therapies.

Great condition

Comprehensive up to date and easy to follow

Good summary of some of the main types of couples therapy split up by chapter; hefty-sized/good reference

The Clinical Casebook of Couple Therapy is the companion to this text and was required for a Master's level Couples Counselling course. However, I decided to purchase this one as well and am quite happy with it - can see using it as a reference for years to come. Each theoretical orientation's approach to Couples Counselling is outlined & includes key interventions, etc

A necessity for a therapist. Not sure why Hendrix theory was not covered here though?

Great book. Excellent resource for teaching.
