Aiming their study at both practitioners and students alike, Greenberg (Psychotherapy Research Clinic at York U.) and Goldman (Argosy U.) maintain that the secret to getting results in couples therapy is by igniting strong emotions in clients. This book focuses on how therapists should use anger, sadness and fear to explore the development of romantic relationships, and how emotional patterns in childhood form the foundation of these relationships through the remainder of the clients' lives. Case studies effectively illustrate how the arousal of deep-seated and intense emotions can be used in meet clients' goals in therapy when the right questions are asked.
