Well, I had to buy this book for a class taught by one of the authors...the book looks pretty intimidating when you first get it, but it's really been helpful for me as a therapist dealing with couples and their issues. Plus, Dr. Epstein is one of the best in the field at couple's work, so I think it's helpful to learn from him!

This is one of the better textbooks I have read in a while. The authors provide many relevant examples to illustrate techniques and theory. In addition, there is a fair amount of research presented, lending support to their theories. The book is set up as an illustration of one type of therapeutic approach to couples and marital therapy. It is also fairly easy reading. However, there are topics not explicitely discussed in the textbook, so supplementary materials are helpful for a better understanding and use of the therapy approach.

As a therapist I try to find ways of fine-tuning my craft. I feel this book will be helpful in aiding my clients in the healing process.

I ordered a book from this seller and almost 3 weeks later I still had not received the book. I was force to purchase another book because I needed the book for a class. The seller did eventually refund my money, but the damage had been done I feel. In the seller favor they did work with me to locate the missing book. It is for this reason I am giving them three stars instead of one star. Trust me when I say I was not a happy customer.
