Case Studies in Couple and Family Therapy: Systemic and Cognitive Perspectives

Featuring case presentations by many of the most distinguished practitioners of couple and family therapy, this volume brings to life the full spectrum of contemporary approaches in the field. The cases illustrate the principles and techniques of the respective approaches and allow the reader to "listen in" on highly skilled therapists at work. Each chapter is enhanced by commentary from the presenter reflecting on particular therapeutic moves. In addition, editor Frank M. Dattilio engages the presenters in thought-provoking discussion about the role that cognitive-behavioral strategies can play in clinical work with couples and families.
