Two Plus Two: Couples and Their Couple Friendships
Friendships are undeniably important to an individual’s health, longevity and wellbeing, but they can be equally important for the health and happiness of a couple.
Just as a friend can provide a mirror to the self, another couple can provide a reflecting team that supports or impedes a relationship’s growth.
Two Plus Two: Couples and Their Couple Friendships offers an important framework for helping couples to have conversations about their friendships with other couples and to enrich their own relationships.
Handbook of Counseling Military Couples
The military imposes unique and often severe challenges to couples, which clinicians – particularly the growing numbers of civilian clinicians who see military couples – often struggle to address.
These problems are only compounded by misunderstandings and misconceptions about what it means to be part of a specific branch of the military and part of the military as a whole.
Handbook of Counseling Military Couples includes a clear, thorough introduction to military culture and to coupled relationships in the military. But more than that, it provides readers with expert analyses of the special types of issues that come up for military couples and shows clinicians how to address them productively.

Family Assessment, 2nd Edition
In an era that demands ever-increasing levels of accountability and documentation, Family Assessment is a vital tool for clinicians.
It covers more than one hundred assessment methods – both the most widely used strategies as well as those that are more specialized and issue-specific. Techniques and instruments for assessments are summarized concisely in tables and discussed in depth in the chapters, often by the experts who developed the approaches they describe.
Readers will find that the second edition of Family Assessment provides the same comprehensive evaluation and thorough analysis as the first edition but with a fully updated focus that will invigorate the work of researchers, educators, and clinicians.
