Repairing Intimacy

An Object Relations Approach to Couples Therapy

By: Judith P. Siegel

Couples therapy is greatly enhanced when both the intrapsychic and interpersonal realms can be utilized. Object relations theory allows linkages between the spouses' subjective realities and their relationship in a way that allows the two worlds to be mutually informing. In Repairing Intimacy the theories of the American object relations theorists are applied to couple dynamics. The representational world is used to explain how primitive defense mechanisms and other intrapsychic phenomena contribute to marital conflict. The structure, function, and content of the representational world all contribute to spousal expectations and the couple's capacity for intimacy. Esteem, soothing, and the propensity of splitting strongly affect the ways in which spouses interact. Projective identifications similarly provide explanations of the couple's interaction, internalized conflicts, and relationships with earlier objects. This book explains how object relations concepts can be used in assessment and in planning treatment goals. Treatment can provide stability or help the couple relate to each other with deepened understanding. Object relations dynamics can help therapists assess which treatment objectives and goals are most applicable to the couples they treat. The beginning and middle phases of couples treatment are given special consideration and include issues such as assessing the couple's commitment to each other and the importance of empathic listening. Other treatment topics include analysis of projective identification and the use of countertransference. Planned and unplanned terminations are also explored. In each treatment section case material is provided to explicate the therapist's role. The book also examines common therapy issues from an object relations perspective. These include the consequences and advantages of conjoint, concurrent, and collateral treatment approaches. Consideration is also given to the choice of focusing on the couple when the initial presenting problem is the family or an individual. Individual psychotherapy and family therapy can no longer be viewed as competing and disparate treatment approaches. This book creates an integrated approach so that couples can be understood in their totality. A Jason Aronson Book

101--INVESTMENT and MONEY USE TIPS to AVOID LOSING Or WASTING YOUR MONEY (c)

By: Barry P. Siegel

The tips that I present in this book derive from my personal experience over 40 years. As time has passed, it is incredible to me how many ways have been concocted to scam people of their money. Some of these scams are even government sanctioned, but nonetheless, the effect is the same: you can lose your money.Money is very easy to lose, but extremely hard to replace. Thus, these tips inform you of what not to do, of what to watch out for to mitigate loss or to prevent loss, of what you can do to enhance your wealth and financial freedom, and of what you can do to enjoy the money you have. To have money but not to know how to enjoy the comforts that money can provide only to end up with nothing even if you have money is no better than being wasteful with money to end up with having nothing. In some cases, I placed similar tips in sequence, and in other cases I purposely placed related tips in different places within this work. I did this in order to make you recall prior tips and to refer back to any prior tips in order to force you to refresh your memory!I suggest that you make your own index of those tips that are most relevant to you or highlight those tips so that you may refer to them later. If you note those tips that you consider most significant to you, you will reinforce a concept if you become uncertain about a matter. Additionally, if you suspect that you may face a situation for which you want to have an immediate reference, noting a tip or tips may aid your confidence when you confront an upcoming financial matter. Finally, this work is not all inclusive. I felt that too many tips become too cumbersome to remember and too difficult to locate. As you may have your own financial tips, I advocate that you should annotate them upon any blank pages in this book or upon a separate piece of paper that you can attach to this book for your personal information. I am confident, however, that I have furnished to you enough financial tips to help you act confidently to create for you a better financial future and greater success in financial dealings. Good luck!
