A guide for therapists and counselors, Pre-Marital Counseling addresses the common problems couples face when starting or considering marriage.

It also teaches readers helpful skills such as developing empathy, learning to compromise, and communicating successfully, all within a potentially diverse client population. Skurtu further helps clinicians personalize their assessment and treatment plans for each couple so that they have realistic expectations.
