Sensitive and easily applicable guide to effective couple's therapy. Insightful and clear description of dynamic of couple conflict and way to work through. Great primer for beginning therapists.

Excellent, concise book for both professional and lay folks.

This is a very well written book about marital therapy. The writing is crisp and very informative. It presents both the theory and particulars of family therapy in a simple way. It is not a comprehensive review of family therapy, but the writing style, I think, makes it the book to buy.
