This review is from: Counseling and Therapy for Couples (Paperback)

This was an excellent book! It was a required reading for my Relationship Therapy class. This book contains and breaks down a lot of theories and who and what they are used on/for. I wish I had used this book for my theories class, it would have simplified a lot of things for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good couples overview, December 27, 2011

This review is from: Counseling and Therapy for Couples (Paperback)

Great text as far as readability and examples, however, I think I would have gotten more from it had it been a little heavier on applications/interventions. It was a very brief and basic overview of couples counseling, left me wanting a little more.
