Psychology of Couples and Illness Theory, Research, & Practice

The true meaning of staying together "in sickness and in health" cannot be fully appreciated until illness strikes. This book chronicles the often brave and sometimes painful ways that couples adapt and cope when long-term illness arrives. From a cognitive -- behavioral perspective, contributors explore how illness effects relationships and, in turn, how the quality of relationships effect coping behaviors and treatment outcomes.Schmaling, Karen B. is the author of 'Psychology of Couples and Illness Theory, Research, & Practice' with ISBN 9781557986498 and ISBN 1557986495.
