Alan E. Fruzzetti, Ph.D., is associate professor of psychology and director of the DBT Therapy and Research Program at the University of Nevada, Reno.

"The High Conflict Couple performs a major public service.
Fruzzetti's approach starts with an important principle: that
dysregulated emotions are the core difficulty for high-conflict
couples. From this he provides step-by-step practical methods
designed to enhance acceptance, intimacy, and communication based
on the latest research regarding emotion regulation and his own
vast experience in working with couples and families. In essence,
this is an excellent book, useful for both clinicians and couples
regardless of the severity of their difficulties."
--Thomas R. Lynch, Ph.D., associate professor in the Departments of
Psychiatry and Psychology and Neuroscience and director of the
Cognitive Behavior Research and Treatment Program at Duke
University

acceptance and compassion. A book on how to handle love and stay
connected even in difficult circumstances. We have waited for
it!"
--Anna Kåver, psychologist and author with Karolinska Hospital,
Stockholm, Sweden
"Fruzzetti is a leader in work with high-conflict couples and
families. This much-awaited book provides an opportunity to learn
his techniques and strategies, presented in his unique teaching
style that is so effective. The book is a must for every DBT
program as well as all those working within the field."
--Perry D. Hoffman, Ph.D., president of the National Education
Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder, New York
"This is a long awaited book! Fruzzetti is a master clinician who
does rigorous science in order to provide those of us doing
treatment and those in need of it something that works. This is
hope for all of us working with individuals, couples and families
who suffer. Thank you, Alan, for this timely and important
work."
