Anyone seeking to do informed and responsive work with couples in distress will find it a useful and valuable compilation.Couples Therapy: Feminist Perspectives describes a variety of feminist approaches to couples therapy--giving you a sense of the range of feminist practice in this area and illustrating approaches you can integrate into your work with couples.

  • narrative approaches to couples therapy
  • dilemmas in working with heterosexual couples
  • working with lesbian couples
  • the particular issues of interracial couples
