Reviews for Doing Couple Therapy, Second Edition: Craft and Creativity in Work with Intimate Partners

Taibbi writes with the nuance and depth of knowledge of a seasoned, successful couple therapist. I'm not aware of any other book that balances practical detail and theoretical insight in such an accessible and engaging style. Taibbi has the rare ability to synthesize rich clinical wisdom with cutting-edge research into an easy-to-understand therapeutic model. This is a book by a ... Read moreclinician for clinicians, informed by solid theory and research. I plan on using this second edition as a text in my master's- and doctoral-level couple therapy courses. I also recommend it to established clinicians beginning couple therapy, or couple therapists who want to take their practice to the next level.
Sean D. Davis, PhD, LMFT, Couple and Family Therapy Program, Alliant International University Couple therapy requires a whole different skill set than individual therapy. Taibbi masterfully simplifies the confusing morass that couple therapy can be. He culls pragmatic techniques from several approaches and presents them in a clear and well-illustrated way. This is very useful wisdom from a veteran couple therapist.
Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School/Cambridge Health Alliance Taibbi offers an extraordinarily practical introduction to what is arguably the most challenging therapeutic modality. Using down-to-earth language and terms, this book walks readers through a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to working with couples. Taibbi offers a flexible system for conceptualizing couple dynamics and outlines each phase of therapy in great detail. The 'Looking Within' questions at the end of each chapter are especially useful in classroom settings to address self-of-the-therapist issues unique to the practice of couple therapy. New couple therapists are likely to refer to this text frequently on their journey to developing competence.
Diane R. Gehart, PhD, Marriage and Family Therapy Program, California State University, Northridge This book had me at, 'Step up and be the leader the couple expects you to be.' Too often, therapists relinquish their responsibility for keeping therapy on course. Taibbi's no-nonsense yet compassionate presentation of the art and science of couple therapy is accessible to all professionals working with relational issues. As an MFT educator, I particularly appreciate the second edition's treatment maps for common issues; beginning therapists will find them invaluable and experienced therapists will find them a good refresher in the fundamentals.
