I can suggest this book as a resource for any clinician working with couples and families that want to learn how to more effectively treat contemporary issues, couples and families from an integrative perspectives. Using fascinating case material, this clinically sophisticated yet practitioner- and reader-friendly volume demonstrates how various techniques can be interwoven to alleviate some of life's biggest challenges. I highly recommend this creative application of psychotherapy integration to couple and family therapists of all theoretical orientations. As the couple and family therapy fields move toward integrative therapies, this volume represents a timely and essential contribution. Chapters devoted to special populations illustrate masterfully why therapy with these clients necessitates an integrative approach. The speed of change and the reshaping of our assumptions about what should happen with a couple and their relationship demand innovative and integrative approaches. Packed with useful answers to the questions couple therapists confront, this book makes the case that various forms of integration can aid couples in overcoming internal and external challenges. Patient vignettes help readers comprehend how each integrative approach works.

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.
