Features: Therapists often encounter common issues when dealing with marital relationship problems. To facilitate the analysis and treatment of these common issues, the author has written this "Guidance Plan for Marital Therapy." Problems in marital relationships are not only the concern of the couple themselves but can also trigger a series of personal issues. Therapists, whether dealing with adults or children, are inevitably faced with marital relationship or marriage issues. Therefore, this book is useful not only for those with marital relationship problems but also provides therapists with a supplementary tool when treating other relationship issues. Sometimes, a reduction in marital conflicts can help alleviate personal or parental issues. When patients face dual diagnoses, therapists must strive to understand the individual or childhood issues (psychopathology) and their corresponding treatment methods. Information on these aspects helps therapists address marital relationship problems as well as individual or family issues. To achieve these specific goals, the book defines certain therapeutic goals and several alternative treatment programs. However, it must be emphasized that a treatment guidance plan is not sufficient to fully replace clinical training or professional diagnosis. The achievement of a specific therapeutic goal will depend on the nuances of each individual therapeutic case.
