• Archive: Book DescriptionGrounded in the cognitive-behavioral approach, The Dilemmas of Intimacy focuses exclusively on understanding, assessing, and treating common problems with intimacy.
• Intimacy offers both risks and rewards, which create three dilemmas that every couple must negotiate: joy vs.
• protection from hurt, I vs.
• we, and past vs.
• These dilemmas offer readers a window into the treatment of intimacy problems, and help them to structure formulations, treatment goals, and therapeutic strategies.Unique to this book is the author’s “Intimacy Signature,” which is a comprehensive system for assessing couples’ intimacy issues, and offers a four-step formula for translating assessment data into therapeutic strategies.
