He also received the Award for Distinguished Achievement in Teaching and Training from the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers. Â
"Couples today face the daunting challenges of stress-laden lives
and precious little time to nurture their relationship, and couple
therapists find themselves with many complex cases. In this timely
volume, Gurman and a cadre of leading couple therapists provide a
wealth of practical guidelines, case illustrations, and commentary
from their own experiences and varied practice orientations. Both
beginning social work students and experienced practitioners will
find this casebook invaluable."--Froma Walsh, PhD, Codirector,
Chicago Center for Family Health, and Mose and Sylvia Firestone
Professor Emerita, School of Social Service Administration,
University of Chicago
"This is the only recent couple therapy book I've seen that
features a broad range of real cases presented by clinicians from a
variety of orientations. It is wonderfully engaging. Whether you
are new to couple therapy or are a seasoned clinician, this book
will expand your understanding of what happens throughout the
course of couple therapy, including both clinical successes and
disappointments. Read this book--you will learn, be inspired, and
gain an even greater appreciation of how the field of couple
therapy has evolved."--Donald H. Baucom, PhD, Richard Simpson
Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill "Clinical Casebook of Couple Therapy would be an
excellent companion to Clinical Handbook of Couple Therapy in a
graduate-level couple therapy class. The case examples do an
outstanding job of putting 'meat' on the theoretical bones of the
different approaches, permitting both a deeper understanding of
each approach and consideration of similarities and differences
across them. Students will get an inside view of the alternating
challenges and breakthroughs that comprise the intricate dance of
therapy."--Brian D. Doss, PhD, Department of Psychology, University
of Miami "This clinical casebook offers extraordinary insights into
the practice of couple therapy. It reflects the diversity and
breadth of couple therapy today and provides a great opportunity to
see master clinicians addressing some of the most interesting
clinical challenges. The stories embedded in these chapters are
intriguing dramas that clinicians and students will enjoy as they
learn new strategies and techniques."--William M. Pinsof, PhD,
President, The Family Institute at Northwestern University
"Clinical Casebook of Couple Therapy proves once again that
although theories of couple therapy can be neat and tidy, real
therapy cases seldom are. Readers learn from the pros how to
improvise over the course of therapy, using one’s preferred theory
as a touchstone along the way. Gurman’s incisive questions
throughout the text provide an additional dimension that greatly
enriches the experience."--Robert-Jay Green, PhD, Distinguished
Professor, California School of Professional Psychology, Alliant
International University, San Francisco
- This is a real blockbuster, with nineteen chapters and twenty-six
authors....Clearly it should be on the shelf in any library of a
training centre. It represents a very important compendium of
knowledge. --ACP North London Magazine, 2/3/2011
