Couple Resilience: Emerging Perspectives de Karen Skerrett

Couple Resilience: Emerging Perspectives

Editat de Karen Skerrett, Karen Fergus
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 oct 2016
This distinctive volume expands our understanding of couple resilience by identifying and exploring specific mechanisms unique to intimate relationships that facilitate positive adaptation to life challenges. Committed partnerships represent a unique form of relational alliance that offers an opportunity and challenge to go beyond the self - to develop as individuals and as a relationship. The contributors to this volume represent a range of perspectives that integrate conventional relationship science and innovative empirical and theoretical work on the importance of meaning-making, narrative construction, intersubjectivity, forgiveness, and positive emotion in couple life. The volume also offers a unique anchor point - ‘We-ness’ as it relates to the intersection between shared, personal identity and well-being. Under-examined relational contexts such as resilience among LGBT partners and sexual resilience during illness adds further refinement of thought and application.

“Couple Resilience: Emerging Perspectives, edited byKaren Skerrett and Karen Fergus, is an excellent book. … this book is loadedwith excellent conceptual and empirical information. It should prove veryuseful to clinicians and researchers. I will adopt it for my courses in coupleand family therapy. I will recommend it to my colleagues, and, finally, I willrecommend it to couples experiencing serious illness.” (Doug Pettinelli, PsycCRITIQUES,Vol. 61 (4), January, 2016)
