Description
Couple Therapy for Depression: A Clinician's Guide to Integrative Practice
This 20-session couple therapy is designed to treat depression in adults and couples experiencing relationship distress. Based on the UK's National Institute for Clinical Excellence recommendations, it combines elements of behavioural, cognitive, emotionally-focused, systemic, and psychodynamic therapies.
Written by experienced couple therapists, this guide outlines practical strategies for reducing damaging interactions, building emotional openness, improving communication and behaviour, and helping couples cope with everyday stresses. It provides a comprehensive framework for treating depression in couples, backed by RCT studies of efficacy.
