The Therapeutic Triangle

The author, a noted therapist and educator of therapists presents a jargon-free, practical guide to marital therapy. Broderick advises on how to remain fair to both sides, how to establish your status as a therapist even when the couple is working to subvert it, how to diagnose the couple's problems, and how to establish a therapeutic contract. He describes successful methods for changing behaviour, perspectives, or feelings. He also advises on perhaps the most painful step of all -- dissolving the therapeutic triangle.
