A fundamental contribution to the ever-relevant field of couples therapy!

• How do developments in couples' relationships often lead to hatred, despair, and misery?
• What state are couples in when they decide to embark on the adventure of couples therapy?
• What happens in a couples therapy session and what results does it yield?
• What are the particular challenges and responsibilities of couples therapy, and what should therapists primarily focus on?

The author, with his own answers to these questions, establishes a systemic approach to couples therapy. He places therapy on a theoretical and methodological foundation and transforms it into a skill that can be taught and learned. Case presentations vividly illustrate the systemic way of working.

The book constitutes a valuable contribution to trainees and mental health professionals engaged in couples therapy, as it offers a wealth of possibilities for deep understanding of couples' issues, as well as effective techniques that help therapists know what they can do.

However, it also addresses all readers who wish to reflect on their own relationship. A unique book of prompts for those who have not yet completed their negotiation with the phenomenon of love and couple relationships.
