Couples and family therapists have long known that intrapersonal difficulties are played out in, and exacerbated by, problems in interpersonal relationships. In this ground-breaking new book, leading couples and family clinicians and researchers present a clinically-based typology of relational disorders. Already hailed as one of the most important books of the decade, this timely volume examines the role of diagnosis in couples and family therapy, and offers clinical criteria for diagnosing a broad spectrum of relational disorders and dysfunctional relational patterns.

Indexes.

Few if any texts have attempted to discuss diagnosis of relational issues. For that, this book is a bold and pioneering read about assessing family and relational problems that are pathological. While the book does explore all of the issues surrounding the diagnosis of pathological relationships, it fails to offer a classification system that is consistent and viable. Worthwhile for sure, but hopefully will one day be replaced by an actual diagnostic manual for dysfunctional relationships.
