Cognitive Behavioral Couple Therapy: Distinctive Features

Cognitive Behavioral Couple Therapy is an advanced and contextually grounded approach that offers couples empirical strategies to cope with distress and individual psychopathology in the context of problematic relationships. This truly comprehensive and insightful method is analyzed in this book. While traditional cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on cognition and behavior, this therapeutic model examines emotions, stable individual differences and vulnerabilities, as well as the influence of the environment on couple relationships with equal diligence.

This concise book, containing 30 key propositions and divided into theoretical and practical parts, includes numerous clinical examples that illustrate the key features of cognitive behavioral couple therapy. It will serve as an excellent guide for both students and experienced psychotherapists practicing individual cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as couple therapy from other theoretical orientations, who require an accessible methodological manual on the distinctive theoretical and practical features of this modern approach.
