Book Description
"A tour de force of scientific sophistication and clinical wisdom. Emotional Intelligence in Couples Therapy will be a classic!"—Douglas H. Sprenkle, Ph.D., Director, Doctoral Program in Marriage and Family Therapy, Purdue University

Atkinson introduces Pragmatic/Experiential Therapy for Couples (PETC), a step-by-step approach to working with couples that facilitates relationship change by promoting increased levels of neural integration in each partner. Emotional Intelligence in Couples Therapy and the PET-C approach are for anyone working with couples and seeking a new way to approach and understand human interactions. A companion workbook, Developing Habits for Relationship Success, is available separately on CD-ROM.

Product Reviews:

Good book to understand new therapy model ( kathleenbx )
Atkinson's book is easy to read and understand. The inclusion of biological/physiological rewiring of emotions is an interesting aspect that deserves attention in couples therapy. Atkinson includes several appendices that provide lots of information regarding his approach to couples therapy and a very clear outline for what happens in his model. The book is fairly repetitive. While it makes it easy to understand, it does become a little cumbersome.

PET-C Atkinson
This book is an incrediable tool for any clinicial doing relational work. In fact, it's great for anyone involved in a serious relationship. It explains, in a clear manner, the biological reasons for emotional reactions and a step by step method to change established patterns of negative interactions. Atkinson's theory provides research and factual information to intirgue a logical thinker as well as someone more driven by feelings and emotions. As a marriage and family therapist, and someone in a long term relationship, I find this book extermely helpful and I give it my highest recommendation.
