"Translating scientifically derived principles into effective and humane clinical interventions is no mean feat. Evidence-based applied psychology requires not only knowledge of the research but also creativity, humanity, and clinical experience to apply that knowledge to complex realities. From a solid cognitive behavior therapy foundation, Dr. Jill Squyres Groubert includes theory and research in communication-based and emotion-focused therapies to address a variety of conflicts that are common in committed relationships. This book will be an invaluable resource for both mental health professionals and graduate students--a must-read for the fields of clinical psychology, psychiatry, social work, and allied disciplines." --Gerald C. Davison, PhD, professor of psychology, University of Southern California

"With all the misinformation around us about relationships, guidance from professionals is critical. Dr. Groubert has written a highly practical book that can be used by couples who want to take the future of their relationship into their own hands. Therapists, especially, will appreciate the engaging, straightforward exercises that can be assigned as homework to help couples deepen their connection. This book is definitely a resource I will reach for regularly in my clinical work." --Poonam Sharma, PhD, psychologist and author of Strong Women, Strong Love: The Missing Manual for the Modern Marriage
