Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is an excellent resource for clinicians who use or are learning to use homework assignments in their therapeutic process with couples. The book is very well organized and easy to use. This book is very applicable to the practicing clinician working with couples and/or individuals struggling with breaking unproductive habit patterns in relationships." (Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy, August 2008)

5.0 out of 5 stars Brief Couples therapy Homework planner, August 23, 2007

This review is from: Brief Couples Therapy Homework Planner (PracticePlanners) (Paperback)
This book an excellent tool for counselors involved in counseling couples. It has some great thought provoking assignments that the couple can do at home and then process in session. I feel that the homework presented in the planner will save the counselor time but also increase the counselor's knowledge of how to best help the couple.

This review is from: Brief Couples Therapy Homework Planner (PracticePlanners) (Paperback)
I purchased this book with the Assignment's "disk" in August 2008. My computer is new technology and does not accomodate old technology, i.e. a diskette. I contacted the publisher John W. Wiley & Sons Inc., and requested they send a CD-ROM and they report that it has not been updated to CD-ROM as yet. I am appauled that they are selling old technology with their books! I expect to receive the new CD as soon as it is updated. Get with the times, guys. It's the 21st Century!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great workbook to use in couples therapy, December 28, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Brief Couples Therapy Homework Planner (PracticePlanners) (Paperback)
I am a therapist and have found the handouts and activities in this book to be very helpful in my work with couples. You will particularly like these handouts if you prefer solution-focused or strategic therapy. Some of the activities require the clients to commit for more than an hour or day, but if the clients will do them, they will find them helpful. I like how the activities help the clients stop doing "more of the same" and start making small changes to their interactions; it also helps them focus more on the positive things occurring in their relationships.
