Description
The Disordered Couple, Second Edition, focuses on couples with psychiatric disorders and/or relational disorders that significantly impact their relationship, mental health, and well-being. It is the first and only book to provide mental health professionals and trainees with cutting-edge, culturally sensitive, and evidence-based clinical strategies for working effectively with disordered couples.
While maintaining its focus on disordered couples, this second edition adds several new features and considers key trends that have impacted the structure of couples and families since the original edition appeared, including the influence of social media and technology, legalization of same-sex marriage, increases in the availability of Internet pornography, and changes in societal norms regarding romantic relationships. The disorders covered reflect revisions to the DSM-5 and both psychiatric disorders and relational disorders, and the book highlights clinically relevant and culturally sensitive intervention practices for working with a wide variety of disordered couples. Chapters also include a section on specific multicultural implications for the type of couple discussed.
With proven strategies for effectively assessing, conceptualizing, and implementing treatment with disordered couples, this book is an essential reference for marital, clinical, counseling, and psychiatry professionals, as well as trainees in these areas. The Disordered Couple, Second Edition, will be of great assistance to mental health professionals in providing disordered couples with the most up-to-date, culturally sensitive, and relevant clinical care.

"As couple therapy inevitably leaves the confines of private practice and becomes more and more incorporated into integrated primary care practices, this is the manual for the future. This is the book that will support core training in the helping professions. Couples counselors and marital therapists; social workers; couple/marital psychologists; psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses; pastoral counselors: Get ready. These are the couples we will be serving for the next twenty-five years."-from the Foreword by James Bitter, Ed.D., Professor of Counseling and Human Development, East Tennessee State University, USA "As couple therapy inevitably leaves the confines of private practice and becomes more and more incorporated into integrated primary care practices, this is the manual for the future.
