Conflict Resolution for Couples by Paul R Shaffer

Conflict Resolution for Couples by Paul R Shaffer

The Just the Tools edition of Conflict Resolution for Couples is an abbreviated version of Paul Shaffer's first book, Conflict Resolution for Couples - originally published in 2005, and then re-published in 2011. This leaner edition cuts to the chase of couple's conflict resolution, without the foundational and special population sections that made the original book a much meatier but time-consuming work. Just the Tools, while a stand-alone title, also serves as a companion book to Paul's Top 10 Marriage Essentials published in 2014 (and the Top 10 Dating Essentials projected for 2015). It retains the same comprehensive, easy-to-understand, and logical progression found in the original.

This book consists of essentially two parts:

Part I is about the tools for resolution. It presents a model for managing conflict and itemizes 26 guidelines (the ABC's of conflict resolution) for identifying, validating, processing and resolving issues.

Part I discusses strategies for change. It focuses on initiating and maintaining change, understanding lack of change, and healthy routines to support lasting change.

Paul Shaffer has a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology and is a Licensed Professional Counselor in North Carolina. He has worked with adults, couples, families, and children as a professional counselor for over 30 years, both in the private and public sectors, including the hospital, jail, residential treatment and county mental health populations. It was primarily through Paul's private practice and support group work that he was able to focus on couples in conflict, a choice that ultimately led to the writing of this book. At present, he continues in private practice in Huntersville, NC. The practice is called Right Choices Counseling.
