Marriage and family counselling

A renowned counselling psychologist comes up with a practical guide to marriage counselling. It can help aspiring professionals and lay counsellors to gain a foundation on which to build their own approach to the client. However, the book is primarily intended for people who are faced with the task of counselling themselves in a partnership problem. What does the author mean by practical marriage counseling? Emotional support, friendly listening combined with a minimum of advice and experience aimed at improving the quality of the partner relationship. The first part of the book deals with the history, technique and principles and tactics of counselling. The second part deals with the basic issues of the relationship. It defines the problems of partner cohabitation and focuses on possible marital conflict and its resolution in the conditions of a very limited time space. The third part focuses on advisory solutions to extraordinary events, which are typical for most crisis situations. The publication is recommended at the faculties of social studies and the Faculty of Arts of MU.
