This book gives readers a rich and detailed understanding of what it is like to work with a diverse range of couple presentations from a CBT perspective.
The book starts by outlining the principle conceptual insights and therapeutic strategies of two different two approaches to CBT Couple Therapy, Contextually Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Couple Therapy and Integrative Behavioural Couple Therapy. In part two, authors working in a wide range of clinical settings describe how they have drawn upon and applied CBT Couple therapy across a variety of issues including: couple distress, sexual issues, infidelity, inter-partner violence, transition to parenthood, separation issues, personality disorders, and more. Each chapter provides discussions of strategies for assessment and formulation and includes examples of dialogue from fictionalised case studies as well as therapist tips.
Case Studies in Cognitive Behavioural Couple Therapy will be required reading for both beginning and experienced couple therapists who wish to draw upon the wide range of evidence-based strategies available in Cognitive Behavioural Couple therapy.
"Books about CBT can sometimes appear formulaic, giving standard accounts of typical, successful therapies. In this book the editors have given the authors scope to craft more varied narratives of couple therapy that capture the essence of working with a variety of problems. By doing so the contributors bring alive ways of working with couples whose experience is often left out of usual training manuals, such as neurodiversity, sexual minority relationships and cross cultural issues. A chapter on separation recognises that a successful outcome of couple therapy may actually be to de-couple. This will be an invaluable resource for any therapists working within the behavioural and couple therapy framework."
