Förlagets beskrivning
Individuals within a couple relationship are asked by their partner to fulfil a multitude of needs - for example, for companionship, security, intimacy - and are often expected to play a number of roles: lover, friend and problem-solver. These ideals can bring disappointment and result in the previously balanced relationship becoming unsatisfying. At this point couples may turn to a counsellor for help.
This practical, readable book focuses on the methods and techniques which counsellors can use to reassert that balance in the partnership. Bubenzer and West examine the nature of couple relationships and emphasize that the task of counselling couples is about motivating them, helping them to have a functional comprehension of their concerns and encouraging them to increase their behavioural management skills.
The authors describe the features of couple relationships that are amenable to change and clearly explain how counsellors can stimulate that change. Carefully-chosen case studies provide an understanding of when and how to use the techniques at different points during the counselling process. Guidelines also illustrate how the counselling sessions can be structured and show the steps which couples can take to break their old patterns of behaviour outside the counselling arena.
At a time when there is an increasing need for counsellors to better understand couple relationships, this guide will be invaluable for all those in the helping professions
