Book Description
Couples counseling is distinct from individual and family therapy and, while ideas from these other formats may be overlapping, applying theoretical concepts to couples has distinctive challenges. Behavioral, Humanistic-Existential, and Psychodynamic Approaches to Couples Counseling is unique in that it addresses how to conceptualize various theories around a single case. By discussing only one case, the reader is more readily able to compare and contrast the theoretical ideas of each theory, as well as the pragmatics of techniques. Five theories are discussed around four consistent parts: history, theory of problem formation, theory of problem resolution, and case transcript.

The Gossamer Thread
Author: John Marzillier
Publisher: Aeon Books
ISBN: 1912573393
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
An honest and accessible insight into the often closed world of psychotherapy. This book is a memoir of the author's professional life as a psychologist and psychotherapist. It shows his progression from a hard-nosed behaviour therapist with a strong commitment to science to a psychodynamic therapist with an interest in narrative. Along the way he shows the way the main schools of psychotherapy (behavioural, cognitive, psychodynamic) work, drawing on case material from his professional practice. He shows the mistakes he made and the lessons he eventually learned from his patients. His focus on clinical cases enables readers to see psychotherapy in operation and get drawn into the ups and downs of trying to help some fascinating and often tricky people who rarely conform to what is expected of them. The book is free of jargon and can be enjoyed without any prior knowledge of psychology or psychotherapy. It is designed to entertain and inform the general readership about the mysterious world of psychotherapy, what goes on behind the consulting room door. It will be of particular interest to the increasing number of people who encounter psychotherapy either through their own experience of seeking help or the experiences of family and friends or through reading of popular books such as those of Oliver James and Irving Yalom. It should also prove invaluable for those interested in training as a clinical psychologist, counsellor or psychotherapist.

Motivational Interviewing with Couples
Author: Tyrel J. Starks
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197549640
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
"Interpersonal relationships are a central element of human existence. While cultures vary with respect to their individual versus collectivistic orientation (Triandis, 2018), even in the most individualistic of cultures people are to some extent embedded in networks of relationships. Individual experience is situated within a context that involves some combination of family, friends, community, and society. We feel the presence - or for some the absence - of these social forces. That does not mean relationships are uniformly sources of tremendous joy - they can also inspire indifference or become sources of pain. I mean to suggest only that the bonds we form to other people, or the absence of such bonds, are powerful influences on our behavior. To the extent that I am inspired by something in psychology, it is the idea that we move each other around as we move through the world. I am fascinated by the impact interpersonal relationships have on personal behavior. I have been exceedingly lucky in this sense. I arrived at my early career as a clinical psychologist just in time to see something of a "relationship renaissance" in research on HIV prevention and treatment. What vision I had for my career was reshaped by the 2009 publication of Sullivan and colleagues' influential paper indicating that as many as 68% of new HIV infections among sexual minority men (a group that includes gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men) in the United States were transmitted between main or primary relationship partners. Reading it was the first time I recall being really excited about what I could potentially do as a behavioral scientist. This book represents the culmination of just over a decade of work that followed that realization"--
