With its extensive coverage of virtually every aspect of couples counseling, this new book offers a broad view of this developing field. COUNSELING AND THERAPY FOR COUPLES is one of the first books to propose a single structure that brings together the major theoretical viewpoints for couples counseling. Young and Long offer an integrative model within an atheoretical context in which many types of couples are addressed--heterosexual, same-sex, culturally mixed, married, and unmarried.
