Reviews

"""In the third text using his Master Conflict Theory, Dr. Betchen illustrates how to deal with unmet sexual and relational expectations in conflicted couples. Betchen is masterful in integrating psychodynamic and systemic protocols, producing another valuable resource for beginning and expert clinicians alike"" Nancy Gambescia, PhD, Former Director, Post-Graduate Sex Therapy Program, Council for Relationships, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ""In Unmet Expectations, Dr. Betchen masterfully synthesizes theory and practice into a highly important text addressing the core issues of what brings couples into treatment. Replete with diverse clinical examples, he outlines a well-constructed, comprehensive process by which therapists most effectively can conceptualize and implement Master Conflict Theory step-by-step. This is a must-have for a therapist at any stage of practice."" Katherine Hertlein, PhD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health, University of Nevada, Las Vegas ""In Unmet Expectations, Betchen uses his Master Conflict Theory to explain why some couples continue to fall short of what they want and how they pull unsuspecting therapists into the same unsatisfying pursuit. In his usual insightful way, Betchen cuts through the confusion to explain the dynamics at work for both romantic partners and how a therapist can skillfully offer these clients the ability to grow beyond the limits of their past. And, as with the rest of his writing, it is rich with clinical acumen that will make you a better therapist with both couples and individuals."" Ari Tuckman, PsyD, author ADHD After Dark: Better Sex Life, Better Relationship"
