Praise for A Clinician’s Guide to Maintaining and Enhancing Close Relationships

A Clinician’s Guide to Maintaining and Enhancing Close Relationships is a very important book, and co-editors John H. Harvey and Amy Wenzel are to be heartily congratulated. Relational distress and enhancement is a cutting edge topic today, and the editors have invited a group of experts to present their work at the interface of research and clinical practice. Any clinician working with couples will surely find that these chapters conceptually interesting and clinically relevant…I read these chapters with great interest. I learned much, and I believe that my therapeutic work with couples will be greatly enhanced as a result.
