Systemic Couple Therapy and Depression

Based on a research project which demonstrated the effectiveness of systemic therapy, this book can be used as the basis of a training programme in systemic couple therapy, as a phase in the treatment of depression. It describes in explicit detail the range of techniques used and can therefore also inform the next generation of research studies.

Provides opportunities for a systemic therapist to reflect about the many issues which are usually sources for discussions and controversy.
