My Publications

All Just One Click Away

I've written many articles, chapters, and books on a wide range of topics, including couple and family therapy, couple distress and divorce prevention, work-relationship-life balance; teaching integrative therapy; family homelessness; sexual abuse and trauma; multicultural issues in therapy; and other topics.  Several of my publications are in journals and books in other countries (and their languages), such as Germany and France.  Please check out some of these publications, and email me with questions and comments!  I'd love to hear from you!
