Behavioral, Humanistic-Existential, and Psychodynamic Approaches to Couples Counseling
by Michael D. Reiter Ronald J. ChenailCouples counseling is distinct from individual and family therapy and, while ideas from these other formats may be overlapping, applying theoretical concepts to couples has distinctive challenges. Behavioral, Humanistic-Existential, and Psychodynamic Approaches to Couples Counseling is unique in that it addresses how to conceptualize various theories around a single case.

Five theories are discussed around four consistent parts: history, theory of problem formation, theory of problem resolution, and case transcript.
