Trade Review"Therapists who want to work skillfully with couples are often confronted with a confusing array of theories, techniques, and myths. Treating Couples creatively addresses many of these challenging issues while shining a light to help therapists navigate through this confusing maze. I found this book refreshing and well worth reading for both seasoned practitioners and newcomers to the field." --Ellyn Bader, Ph.D., co-director, The Couples Institute, Menlo Park, California
