Summary:

"This book demonstrates how integrative clinical practices provide a flexible, systematic, and responsive approach to working with couples and families with complex challenges. Couples and families experience stressors of all kinds, such as infertility, blending families, infidelity, military trauma, incarceration, and sexual abuse. Complicating these already-difficult issues may be added social scrutiny due to racism, undocumented immigration, or LGBTQ status. Likewise, new technologies such as social media and data tracking, while having many positive uses, can also intensify problematic patterns. Couples and families entering treatment need a tailored clinical approach, which integrative therapies offer. Contributors to this edited book summarize current scientific knowledge about the complex clinical problems that bring couples and families to treatment, and discuss integrative couple and family therapy models. Eleven detailed case conceptualizations illustrate how practitioners and therapists use integrative models to provide care for couples and families. This roadmap of integrative treatments is for trainees as well as currently practicing psychologists, social workers, counselors, and marriage and family therapists."-- Provided by publisher.

"This edited book demonstrates how integrative clinical practices provide a flexible, systematic, and responsive approach to working with couples and families with complex challenges. It summarizes current scientific knowledge about the problems that bring couples and families to treatment: infertility, blending families, infidelity, military trauma, incarceration, and sexual abuse, among others. Eleven detailed case conceptualizations illustrate how practitioners and therapists use integrative models to provide care for diverse couples and families"-- Provided by publisher.

"This book demonstrates the variety of individualized and well-established integrative approaches to couple and family therapy (CFT) in real-world practice settings. It brings together expert clinicians who use a combination of theories and techniques to resolve complex clinical issues and address the unique concerns of diverse clinical populations. The book is intended for a broad audience of practitioners, including psychologists, social workers, marriage and family therapists, and counselors who work with couples and families and who wish to enhance the effectiveness of their approach through CFT integration. The book chapters are organized into two sections that represent common foci in psychological research and practice: integrative CFT with complex clinical problems and integrative CFT with diverse clinical populations. The many integrative theories and models enables a practitioner to conceptualize and treat the many complex issues throughout the life cycle. This organization highlights the relevance of integrative CFT to the treatment of specific clinical problems and populations. Each chapter begins with a patient vignette that illustrates a set of developmental and clinical challenges followed by a summary of the research about the issues at hand, the description of the integrative approach, and how it is used to develop a case formulation and a treatment plan that are sensitive and responsive to human differences. Each chapter explains how theoretically diverse concepts and techniques were combined to create a coherent and systematic model of practice with clear guiding principles, key concepts, and mechanisms of change, using one or more framework for psychotherapy integration."--Preface.
