[S.l.] : ROUTLEDGE, 2025. 1 online resource text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Commitment in Couples Therapy offers a comprehensive clinical guide to help those who work with couples determine the authenticity of a couples commitment, and to guide their decision on whether the relationship is worth salvaging. The purpose of this book is to focus on those couples who have joined for reasons that pose a significant chance of relational failure. This specific dyad entails one seemingly committed partner and one apparently less committed partner, both of whom may be conscious or unconscious about their sabotaging behavior in the relationship. Betchen offers a clinical model to treat the commitment issue and help the couples therapist skillfully uncover each partners conflict with commitment, determine the couples true relational status, and determine how to re-contract the relationship on more authentic grounds. Chapters provide coverage of the unconscious match process, the sociocultural, transactional, familial, and psychological factors behind commitment, and countertransference, with case studies throughout. Finally, this book offers critical assessment and treatment strategies for therapists to implement in their practice. This book is an essential read for mental health clinicians of all levels, and a valuable resource for graduate students in marriage and family therapy programs.
