Dictionaries and Encyclopedias

开始

Dictionaries, handbooks, and encyclopedias are a good starting place, especially if you're not sure where to begin or overwhelmed by the choices. These resources can provide a scholarly summary of a particular subtopic; the terminology, names, and important works in that area. By choosing a topic from one of these resources, you can be sure there is a sufficient pool of research to draw from for your project.

Clinical handbook of couple therapy
Regarded as the authoritative reference and text, this handbook presents the most effective, widely studied approaches to couple therapy. The distinguished coeditors bring together other leading experts, most of whom developed the approaches they describe. Adhering closely to a uniform structure to facilitate study and comparison, chapters cover the history, theoretical and empirical underpinnings, and techniques of each model. The volume also describes cutting-edge applications for particular relationship contexts (such as blended families, LGBT couples, and separated couples) and clinical problems (such as partner aggression, psychological disorders, and medical issues).
