Aggressive couples, endless loops, alibi therapy: working with couples in therapy and counselling can be highly challenging. The authors show how these and other difficult situations can be successfully dealt with. To demonstrate this, both authors present a vivid example of particular situations and analyse it in detail. Example dialogues and concrete proposals for action, along with some dos and don’ts, serve as a useful guide for readers’ own therapeutic approach.
