Title Details

When selecting treatment for their patients, couple and family therapists are faced with a bewildering array of competing models. On closer inspection, the most effective of these approaches share common elements. Author Jay Lebow looks beyond single models of treatment and instead presents an integrative model of couple and family therapy. In describing how the field has evolved over the years, he articulates a core set of principles from which therapists can shape their own best methods of practice. Readers will come away from this book with a clear sense of when couple and family therapy is the treatment of choice, what is known to work in therapy, and what is still debated.
