"In Couples Therapy in the Digital Age , Dr. Anna Elton offers a timely, insightful, and deeply compassionate guide to one of the most pressing issues facing relationships and clinicians today--the intersection of love, technology, and human connection. With clarity and sophistication, Elton explores how digital life has quietly reshaped the way couples communicate, connect, and maintain intimacy. What makes this book exceptional is its balance of theory, research, and practice. Elton draws from attachment theory, neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and communication science to illuminate the unseen ways that technology amplifies disconnection, yet rather than pathologizing our digital world, she invites clinicians and couples alike to understand it--and to use that understanding to foster resilience and reconnection. In an era when communication issues are among the most common complaints couples bring to therapy, Couples Therapy in the Digital Age feels both essential and overdue. It offers a new language for understanding love and intimacy and equips practitioners with the tools to help couples navigate this new terrain with compassion and skill. This book should be required reading for marriage and family therapists, psychologists, counselors, and coaches who work with couples.
It's also an invaluable resource for anyone curious about how to build and sustain healthy relationships in an always-on world." --Rachel Needle, PsyD, licensed psychologist, certified sex therapist, and co-founding director of the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes.
