This text expands the boundaries of cognitive behavioural therapy with a framework that goes beyond partner's moment-to-moment interactions and takes into account the personal characteristics of the two individuals; their dyadic interactions and influences of the couple's interpersonal and physical environment. The authors also focus on ways to intervene when the couple struggles with developmental changes experienced by either partner or the couple; such as new challenges when children move into adolescence. They provide an integration of theory; research and practical suggestions that should be appealing to students; scholars and practitioners.

WARNING: Do not buy the Kindle edition.By Bob JarvisThis is Churchill writing and; even though it is an early example in his literary career; it is a lesson in the graceful use of the English Language. Beautifully descriptive phrases; pungent political comments; extraordinary attention to the details of numerous miltary campaigns and an underlying; cynical; humour throughout this account of a long forgotten war. Noticeable and laudible is Churchill's insistence in describing the bravery of the warriors of both sides with admirable equanimity. I loved the written word here but you must try to obtain this in book form.The Kindle edition is truly awful! Badly formatted and with a complete absence of any maps; despite Churchill's reference to same. What is the matter with the people that prepare these Kindle books? I know that the Kindle can show maps; albeit they are generally on the small side difficult to access. So why have some idiots released this version with no maps is beyond me. Needless to say the whole presentation; though lucidly described; is totally useless without maps.Shame on the publishers for allowing this rip-off to occur.Three stars however for Churchill's writing; which compelled me to complete reading the book; whilst gnashing my teeth in frustration.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A very well written;though wordy; account of the Fight for the Sudan against the most evil Islamic hord ever assembled.By Mike3746Okay; I know.; It's Churchill! But; God love him; he does have a way with words and he loves to use them; lots of them. But; the accuracy is spellbinding. I bought this book because I wanted a better context for the modern problems civilized nations are now having with Islam. Well; guess what? They are exactly the same problem civilized people were having with Islam in 1888 - 1901!You will find parts of the book a big ---ummm...well; not boring; but; you might say "exhaustive". Churchill overpowers his writing with detail. Now; I happen to like that; since I greatly enjoy history and warfare. Others obviously are not that patient. But; I never found the book burdensome to the point of putting it down for a while. I was drawn into it; almost as if I was there and utterly fascinated with the events. Another thing Churchill does; He is almost shocking in his straight faced descriptions of horror and misery...as if he is coldly detached from it. This seems to be true even when he describes his own gallant part of the fight as a member of the 21st Lancers Cavalry. You can almost hear the screams of the horses; the shouts of the men; the sudden blasts from the rifles and carbines in the melee fighting. It's as if you are right in the middle of it; invisible; safe; but; so close you can smell the blood and the dust and the gunpowder. It is really exceptionally well written.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Loved the Book.By RubyIn the early 1980s we lived in the Sudan. We got to know members of the British Army Training team and were treated to a complete recreation of the Battle of Omdurman. the book mentioned many of the areas we visited while living in Khartoum. When reading the book one must keep in mind that it is a history of it's time. Written in the language of the times.
