En savoir plus sur le livre
Marriages today face significant challenges, and effective solutions are often elusive. Counselors, pastors, and social workers require more than theories or moralizing; they need a practical, comprehensive model to understand couples and their issues. Everett Worthington offers a biblically grounded perspective on marriage and therapy, analyzing individuals, couples, and families. His model incorporates techniques from major psychological schools, providing a standard framework for counselors to facilitate real change. The assessment process is thoroughly outlined, with practical guidelines for establishing realistic goals, estimating session needs, and planning assessments, interventions, and terminations. Worthington also presents specific techniques to enhance cooperation, intimacy, communication, conflict resolution, and forgiveness within marriages. Acknowledging the challenge of preventing couples from reverting to old patterns, he concludes with strategies for solidifying change and effectively ending the counseling relationship. This work is poised to become a standard reference for counselors, pastors, and mental health professionals in the years ahead.
