"This book is an important contribution that will help these clinicians develop the skills necessary to work with troubled marriages. Numerous clinical case presentations bring this work to life, clearly illustrating each phase of treatment." - Lewis Aron, Director, New York University Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, USA
"... this is a valuable book. There is a dearth of good introductory texts in the field, and despite the omissions and questions that I have highlighted, I would recommend it to clinicians who are new to the area and wish to have a helpful, practical guide alongside them as they begin the arduous but rewarding discipline of working with couples. Reading this book will, I believe, both help them to think, and stimulate further questions, as it did for me, about the complex but fascinating clinical situation of couple psychotherapy." - Andrew Balfour, Journal of Family Therapy, Vol. 31, 2009
