SynopsisSince its inception in 1962, the Relationship Enhancement model has assisted countless therapists in teaching couples how to nurture their relationship and solve problems independently. Relationship Enhancement Therapy provides a systematic guide for conducting highly effective couples' therapy. The book's step-by-step explanation of how to implement RE therapy is especially useful for less experienced clinicians while also providing more experienced clinicians insight into the method's many nuances. The book includes: a detailed outline for conducting a clinical intake with couples; an explanation of how to introduce each of the 10 RE skills; an explanation of two alternative ways to launch the RE couples dialogue process; and recommended home assignments throughout the RE therapy process. In addition, detailed coaching tips are included to help clinicians more effectively manage the RE therapy process, while six clinical vignettes are used to illustrate significant aspects of the method and to bring it to life. The final two chapters deal with the application of RE therapy to the Treatment of infidelity and affairs., Relationship Enhancement Therapy (RE) is a couples-therapy system conceived of, designed, and first implemented by Bernard Guerney Jr., who integrated the client-centered theory of Carl Rogers, the interpersonal theory of Henry Stack Sullivan, the behavior modification and learning theories of Skinner and Bandura, and the psychodynamic theory of Freud, in formulating RE., Relationship Enhancement Therapy (RE) is a couples-therapy system conceived of, designed, and first implemented by Bernard Guerney Jr., which integrates major psychoanalytic thories., Relationship Enhancement Therapy (RE) is a couples-therapy system conceived of, designed, and first implemented by Bernard Guerney Jr., who integrated the client-centered theory of Carl Rogers, the interpersonal theory of Henry Stack Sullivan, the behavior modification and learning theories of Skinner and Bandura, and the psychodynamic theory of Freud, in formulating RE. In this book Dr. Scuka presents an up-to-date, comprehensive theoretical and practical treatment of RE, in which he gives the reader a guide to implementing the principles of this dynamic theory. The book is written principally with couples therapy in mind, although there is an acknowledged relevance to family therapy, and the author calls attention the many skills and therapy techniques that would be applicable to family therapy. Though designed to allow a therapist of any level of experience to begin working with the RE model, this book is more than a standard cookbook, as it considers a variety of special RE therapy techniques, discusses the entire clinical intake process, the application of the RE model to the treatment of affairs, use with difficult clients, and family therapy issues such as domestic violence and stepfamilies.
