Restoring Hope: An Integrative Approach to Marital Therapy (Paperback)

The primary audience is professional therapists. This includes psychologists, licensed professional counsellors, marriage and family therapists, and licensed clinical social workers.
A secondary audience are people within the church, pastors, and lay counsellors as well as married couples who come alongside marriages in crisis.
Serving more than ten thousand couples over a span of more than twenty years, Hope Restored is the comprehensive model for Christian marriage counsellors, therapists, and others seeking to help marriages in distress.

The clinical team at the Focus Marriage Institute who developed the remarkably successful program Hope Restored: A Marriage Intensive Experience has created this guide, which provides a replicable model for working with couples in marital crisis. Restoring Hope: An Integrative Approach to Marital Therapy contains numerous intervention and therapeutic strategies that you can apply to your personal therapy style, the unique individuals you serve, and the specific relational circumstances.
• Section 1 examines the key concepts, principles, and skills presented, along with their potential application.
• Section 2 dives deeper into the process of therapy and application, considering goals and objectives, the therapeutic relationship, the role of psychoeducation, sequencing, marriage dynamics, and more.
• Section 3 considers theological and psychological assumptions as well as foundations of the model and marital therapy research context.

Restoring Hope: An Integrative Approach to Marital Therapy is aimed at psychologists, licensed professional counsellors, marriage and family therapists, and licensed clinical social workers.
