This book is a leap forward for the study and practice of couple therapy. The authors bring breadth, depth, and penetrating insight to a wide range of important clinical issues. Well done! - Fred P. Piercy, PhD, Associate Dean and Professor of Family Therapy, Virginia Tech, USA

The Handbook of Clinical Issues in Couple Therapy (second edition) makes an exceptional contribution to couple therapy literature. This book focuses on issues that impact couples and their treatment. Information is presented in a way that a therapist can immediately use in their work with clients. This is exactly the kind of book needed in our field to bring together research and scholarship with everyday issues and couples treatment. - Dr. Toni Schindler Zimmerman, Professor and Director of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program, Colorado State University, Colorado, USA
