Description
This third edition of Couples in Treatment helps readers conceptualize and treat couples from multiple perspectives and with a multitude of techniques. The authors do not advocate any single approach to couple therapy and instead present basic principles and techniques with wide-ranging applicability and the power to invite change, making this the most useful text on integrative, systemic couple therapy.
Throughout the book the authors consider the individual, interactional, and intergenerational systems of any case. Gerald Weeks’ Intersystems Model, a comprehensive, integrative, and contextual meta framework, can be superimposed over existing therapy approaches. It emphasizes principles of therapy and can facilitate assessing, conceptualizing couples’ problems, and providing helpful interventions. Couple therapists are encouraged to utilize the principles in this book to enhance their therapeutic process and fit their approach to the client, rather than forcing the client to fit their theory.

This book helped me better understand how to work with couples in therapy by providing a lot of amazing interventions with detailed descriptions of the process and framework. Coming from a systemic approach, this book will help you understand questions/concerns you have with your couple clients. I highly recommend this book to any therapist/counselor who works with couples.

The “what works” in couples therapy seems to be spread over many different books, articles, and other resources. This book has it all in one place. Excellent resource.
