Focusing on couples therapy, a type of consultation that has become more and more common for psychologists, this book proposes a series of road maps that lead toward a diagnosis and aid in the understanding of a couple's everyday life. The author analyzes the experience of being part of a couple and explores the concept of a couple as it exists in the collective imagination, influenced as it is by television and film. He then provides a series of elements that serve in the development of a guide that aids therapists in their practice as well as couples looking to reflect on and transform themselves. Step-by-step guidance through the complete couples therapy experience makes all parties involved feel better informed and more at ease.
