This is the first book to take the research area of close relationships and apply it to couples counseling. Topics such as love, attribution, power, and divorce and remarriage are explored from the close relationships perspective. Therapists and those who teach them will find some new relationship ideas that can make counseling couples more effective. Close relationship researchers will find in the book how their ideas can actually be applied in therapy. This book brings together the worlds of the close relationships scholar and the couples therapist.
