In the re-release of their book, Time for a Better Marriage: Training in Marriage Enrichment, Dr. Carlson and co-author Dr. Don Dinkmeyer, Sr., point out that the skills necessary for creating and sustaining a happy marriage are learned. "Unfortunately many of these skills were never taught to us. So all of us have blind spots and skill deficits." Bad Therapy offers a rare glimpse into the hearts and minds of the profession's most famous authors, thinkers, and leaders when things aren't going so well.  Instead of simply showing the rather effortless and constant success of renowned practitioners- an impression that can be left by typical books, videos and workshops- Bad Therapy reveals, with shocking honesty, their worst mistakes. Jeffrey Kottler and Jon Carlson, who include their own therapy mishaps, interview twenty of the world's most famous practitioners who discuss their mistakes, misjudgments, and miscalculations on working with clients. Told through narratives, the failures are related with candor to expose the human side of leading therapists.  Becoming an Effective Therapist describes and illustrates the skills and strategies that experienced, effective therapists utilize in everyday therapeutic encounters with individuals, couples, and families.  It is part of a unique learning system - consisting of a text, a video, and a student workbook - that is designed to develop and enhance the core skills and strategies necessary to become an effective therapist.  Text Order No. 0-205-32207-7 Workbook / Video Order No. 0-205-38167-7 In The Disordered Couple, experienced researchers and clinicians from a wide variety of theoretical backgrounds have come together to give a comprehensive analysis of couples diagnosed with major psychopathology, personality disorders, and social challenges.  Each chapter is dedicated to a different aspect of the characterological issues that are at the root of most relational problems and offers alternative methods of viewing, assessing, diagnosing, and tailoring treatments. This volume will provide the clinician or therapist with a dynamic overview of these difficult but always occurring cases.
