Couple Therapy
Autor Jennifer S Ripley, Everett L Worthington Jren Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 mai 2027
Autorii Jennifer S Ripley și Everett L Worthington Jr, ambii psihologi clinicieni cu o vastă experiență în consilierea familială, fundamentează această lucrare pe cercetări riguroase privind atașamentul și legăturile intime. Couple Therapy reprezintă o evoluție a metodei lor consacrate, integrând credința creștină cu psihologia clinică pentru a oferi un cadru de lucru coerent atât pentru terapeuți, cât și pentru pastori. Observăm că structura cărții este concepută pentru a facilita tranziția de la teorie la practică. Față de lucrările anterioare, această ediție introduce peste 75 de intervenții practice inedite, menținând în același timp studiile de caz clasice care au validat abordarea „Hope-Focused”. Găsim în acest volum un echilibru între rigoarea academică și utilitatea imediată, fiind inclus un set impresionant de resurse pentru instructori, de la demonstrații video ale autorilor în timpul ședințelor de terapie, până la bănci de teste și suporturi de curs. Din punct de vedere al ariei tematice, Couple Therapy acoperă un teren similar cu Marriage Counseling – A Christian Approach to Counseling Couples de Everett L Worthington Jr, dar cu o abordare mult mai axată pe intervenții specifice și pe instrumente de evaluare actualizate. Dacă volumul menționat se concentra pe fundamentarea biblică a teoriei, titlul de față prioritizează aplicabilitatea clinică și dinamica atașamentului. De asemenea, spre deosebire de Attachment Processes in Couple and Family Therapy de Susan M. Johnson, care explorează teoria atașamentului dintr-o perspectivă seculară, lucrarea de față integrează aceste concepte în viziunea Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS), oferind o resursă esențială pentru clinicienii care doresc să sprijine bunăstarea clienților prin prisma valorilor creștine.
