Serving more than ten thousand couples over a span of more than twenty
years, Hope Restored is the comprehensive model for Christian marriage
counselors, therapists, and others seeking to help marriages in
distress.
The clinical team at the Focus Marriage Institute who developed the
remarkably successful program Hope Restored: A Marriage Intensive
Experience has created this guide, which provides a replicable model for
working with couples in marital crisis. This professional resource
contains numerous intervention and therapeutic strategies that you can
apply to your personal therapy style, the unique individuals you serve,
and the specific relational circumstances.
- Section 1 examines the key concepts, principles, and skills presented,
along with their potential application.
- Section 2 dives deeper into the process of therapy and application,
considering goals and objectives, the therapeutic relationship, the
role of psychoeducation, sequencing, marriage dynamics, and more.
- Section 3 considers theological and psychological assumptions as well
as foundations of the model and marital therapy research context.
Designed for the Christian marriage counselor or therapist; others,
including pastors and lay leaders with a heart for marriage restoration,
will find this proven model to be a valuable resource that stands the
test of time.
