To an expert in systems, the universe appears to be an integrated hierarchy of causes and effects in which each upper level has a greater number of possibilities and a greater number of opportunities compared to the lower level and, therefore, greater potential for choice and self- determination. In addition, the upper level is more refi- ned. At each system, including humans, it is a requisite of evolution to adapt to the principles and hierarchies of the upper-systems in which the system is inserted, to which it belongs and from which it depends.

DESCRIPTORS *Counseling Techniques; *Counseling Theories; Counselors; Divorce; *Interpersonal Relationship; *Marriage; Marriage Counseling; Remarriage IDENTIFIERS *Adlerian Psychology ABSTRACT This book provides therapists with a theoretical base from which to view the dynamics of couples' relationships and the therapeutic process. The book's eight chapters are organized into three parts: "Adlerian Theory and Process"; "Therapeutic Interventions"; and "Special Issues in Marital Therapy." Chapter 1, Adlerian Marital Therapy: History, Theory and Process (William G. Nicoll) summarizes Adlerian theory on couples therapy. Chapter 2, The Initial Interview (E. Clair Hawes and Roy N. Kern) acquaints the reader with how the theory may be operationalized into practical procedures for conducting the first session with the couple. Chapter 3, Lifestyle of a Relationship (Maxine Ijams) provides the therapist with a process analysis and knowledge base of how to conduct the sessions to-follow as it relates to lifestyle analysis and toxic relationship issues. Chapter 4, Therapeutic Interventions in the Marital Relationship (E. Clair Hawes) provides communication and problem solving skills interventions. Chapter 5, Relationship Enbancement Programs (G. Hugh Allred and Bernard Paduska) assists the therapist to create strategies to help couples deal with toxic issues that evolve during lifestyle analysis and future therapy sessions.

Studies showed that psychotherapeutic change processes are characterized by nonlinearity, complexity, and discontinuous transitions. By this, theoretical models of psychotherapy should be able to reproduce these dynamic features. Using time series derived from daily measures through internet-based real-time monitoring as empirical reference, we earlier presented a model of psy- chotherapy which includes five state variables and four trait variables. In mathematical terms, the traits modulate the shape of the functions which define the nonlinear interactions between the variables (states) of the model. The functions are integrated into five coupled nonlinear difference equations. In the present paper, we model how traits (dispositions or competencies of a person) can continuously be altered by new experiences and states (cognition, emotion, behavior). Adding equations that link states to traits, this model not only describes how therapeutic interventions modulate short-term change and fluctuations of psychological states, but also how these can influence traits. Speaking in terms of Synergetics (theory of self-organization in complex systems), the states correspond to the order parameters and the traits to the control parameters of the system.
