Widerstand in der Paartherapie

Could it be that couples, especially when they are resisting, are living out what is important to them in counseling? Is resistance really an obstacle or can it even be the basis for successful therapy? How is resistance to be understood, how can it be explained, how is it experienced by those involved in couple counseling? And how do therapists and counselors not only manage to get through challenging sessions, but also get deadlocked processes moving with serenity and joy? In this book, Hans-Gnter Schoppa takes a close look at resistance in couple therapy and shows how the constructive potential hidden in it can be exploited. He explains in a compact and practical way what hurdles and obstacles there are in the process of changing couple relationships and how they can be dealt with. The numerous action methods presented expand the possibilities of expression and exchange in the counseling process, support couples in a creative and lively way and also get those treating them going.
