Art Nielsen combines systems theory, psychodynamics, and psychoeducation to create an integrated theory for helping couples deal with common problems seen in therapy. Readers will learn to apply this integrated theory to issues such as sex, money, children, division of labor, time demands, affairs, and life transitions. A separate section of the book deals with comorbid psychiatric conditions, and the last section with practical advice for the beginning, middle, and end of therapy. This book can be used in conjunction with Couple Therapy Integrated, which focuses on the theoretical model derived from integrating these three theories in couples therapy
