Inhaltsangabe

Virtually all significant relationships are shadowed by a third party-another person, a competing distraction, or even a memory. This groundbreaking book provides clinicians with a hands-on guide to working with many different kinds of relationship triangles in therapy with families, couples, and individuals. The authors show why triangles come into being, how to predict their evolving nature, and how they can be dealt with and resolved in treatment. A wealth of clinical case material and treatment suggestions illustrates how thinking in terms of threes, as well as individuals and dyads, can greatly increase therapeutic flexibility and effectiveness. The paperback edition includes a new series editor's note by Michael P. Nichols.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Virtually all significant relationships are shadowed by a third party - another person, a competing distraction, or even a memory. While clinicians almost always recognize notorious triangles for the curses that they are - extramarital affairs, for example, or feuds with the in-laws - many therapists continue to underestimate the extent to which different sorts of triangles complicate most people's lives. As ubiquitous as they can be destructive, relationship triangles are the focus of this illuminating new work, which provides a groundbreaking analysis of how triangles function and a hands-on guide to working with triangles in therapy with couples, families, and individuals. The authors show how and why triangles come into being, how to predict their evolving nature, and ways therapists can move from individual to dyad to triangle and back again to create a seamless web of therapy that greatly increases therapeutic flexibility and effectiveness.
