Evaluating Couples: A Handbook for Practitioners

"The reader will find this book useful whether or not one agrees with Karpel's therapeutic style or clinical assumptions....[I]t succinctly reviews a lot of the basics about couples and about couple therapy, and suggests an attitude toward work with couples that we would all do well to incorporate into our own ongoing therapy. It will definitely be on my recommended list of resources and I am sure to quote liberally from its author."-Eleanor Macklin, Journal of Family Psychotherapy
