About this listen

In 10 Principles for Doing Effective Couples Therapy, two of the world's leading couple researchers and therapists give listeners an inside tour of what goes on inside the consulting rooms of their practice. They have been doing couples work for decades and still find it challenging and full of learning experiences. This book distills the knowledge they've gained over their years of practice into 10 principles at the core of good couples work. Each principle is illustrated with a clinically compiled case plus personal side-notes and storytelling.

Topics addressed include:

  • You know that you need to "treat the relationship," but how are you supposed to get at something as elusive as "a relationship"?
  • How do you empathize with both clients if they have opposite points of view? Later on, if they end up separating does that mean you've failed? Are you only successful if you keep couples together?
  • Compared to an individual client, a relationship is an entirely different animal. What should you do first? What should you look for? What questions should you ask? If clients give different answers, who should you believe?

Contains mature themes.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This book provides theory, case studies and practical interventions. It’s a great addition to any therapist’s library, while also being accessible enough to offer clients as general psycho education.

Profoundly accessible and immediately relevant for practice

As a psychiatrist with 40 years of experience doing psychotherapy, and couples therapy, I’ve used the information in this book as well as other books by the Gottmans to good effect.

One suggestion I would make is that couples that experience emotional flooding that they called DPA can sometimes be helped with mood stabilizing anti-seizure medications and or anti-depressants. Sometimes medication can help stabilize a person’s emotional reactivity enough to take advantage of couples therapy.

Practical scientifically driven strategy for couples therapy

The book is pretty good overall but the reader seemed so painfully robotic to me it was hard to get through.
