Читать книгу Theory and Practice of Couples and Family Counseling - James Robert Bitter - Страница 33

Three models of couples counseling currently dominate the field. They are the scientific approach of John and Julie Gottman, the emotionally focused therapy with couples developed by Susan M. Johnson, and imago therapy with couples as designed by Harville Hendrix and Helen Hunt. Each of these models is addressed in its own chapter. As you will have seen for the chapters above, there are also practitioners of couples counseling in the other models covered in the book. In addition, many prominent couples therapists, such as Pat Love (2001), Esther Perel (2009, 2017), and Froma Walsh (2016a, 2016b), work from their own unique perspectives.
