In this second edition to her groundbreaking book, Dr. Joan Lachkar ventures to go beyond narcissistic and borderline couples to a mélange of many other dyadic configurations. Updated to incorporate new literature and developments in the field of marital conflict that have taken place since the publication of the first edition, this book addresses the ever-changing faces and phases of narcissism within the context of marital treatment. Drawing from many different theoretical frameworks, mainly self-psychology (Kohut) and object relations (Klein), the works of D.W, Winnicott, and Kernberg are expanded to further explain why couples stay in painful, conflictual, never-ending relationships (traumatic bonding). An essential text for every clinician doing marital therapy, The Narcissistic/Borderline Couple offers an improved understanding of marital pathology within the framework of our changing world. ….read more

Now available in paper for the first time, this classic work presents a a structured, rigorously tested, six-stage strategy for improving intimate relationships. Therapists and counselors will benefit from practical, step-by-step guidance for deciding how, why, and when to employ such widely cited Stuart techniques as caring days, communication improvements, behavioral contracting, the powergram procedure for decision making, and conflict containment. These techniques not only provide a program for identifying and producing positive behavior change, but give the therapist the tools to assess therapeutic outcome and empirically validate the efficacy of change. A new preface to the paperback edition situates the book within the contemporary couple therapy landscape and reflects on the continuing evolution of the author's approach.

In Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy, Leslie S. Greenberg and Rhonda N. Goldman expand the framework of emotionally focused therapy for couples to focus more intently on the development of the self and the relationship system through the promotion of self-soothing and other-soothing; to deal with unmet needs both from the client's adulthood and childhood; and to work more explicitly with emotions, specifically fear, anxiety, shame, power, joy, and love. The authors discuss the three major motivational systems central to couples therapy–attachment, identity, and attraction and clarify emotions and motivations in the dominance dimension of couples' interactions.
The authors use a rich variety of case material to demonstrate how working with emotions can facilitate change in couples and, by extension, in all situations where people may be in emotional conflict with others. Greenberg and Goldman provide the tools needed to identify specific emotions and show the reader how to work with them to resolve conflict and promote bonding in couples therapy. ….read more

Individuals within a couple relationship are asked by their partner to fulfil a multitude of needs – for example, for companionship, security, intimacy – and are often expected to play a number of roles: lover, friend and problem-solver. These ideals can bring disappointment and result in the previously balanced relationship becoming unsatisfying. At this point couples may turn to a counsellor for help.
This practical, readable book focuses on the methods and techniques which counsellors can use to reassert that balance in the partnership. Bubenzer and West examine the nature of couple relationships and emphasize that the task of counselling couples is about motivating them, helping them to have a functional comprehension of their concerns and encouraging them to increase their behavioural management skills.
The authors describe the features of couple relationships that are amenable to change and clearly explain how counsellors can stimulate that change. Carefully-chosen case studies provide an understanding of when and how to use the techniques at different points during the counselling process. Guidelines also illustrate how the counselling sessions can be structured and show the steps which couples can take to break their old patterns of behaviour outside the counselling arena.
At a time when there is an increasing need for counsellors to better understand couple relationships, this guide will be invaluable for all those in the helping professions.
