Carson and Casado-Kehoe (psychology, Palm Beach Atlantic U.) assemble 28 case studies from couples therapy specialists from the US, Canada, and New Zealand to help graduate students and
clinicians in marriage and family therapy learn various approaches and their theories and apply them in clinical practice. Each case follows a couple through treatment, with discussion of
working with clients, underlying beliefs, and the problems and interventions used, as well as reflections from the author on the work and what they learned from the experience, and implications
for training and supervision. Approaches include Adlerian, object-relations, cognitive behavior, brief, Imago relationship, and narrative therapies, in addition to working with different ethnic
groups. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
