Chapter 9. Coping with Romantic Jealousy

1. For an example of treating jealousy with self-hypnosis, see Milne (1985). For examples of treating jealousy with pharmacological interventions, see Byrne & Yatham (1989); see also Gross (1991); Ilerceg (1976); Lane (1990); Munro et al. (1985); Stein et al. (1994); and Wright (1994). For examples of treating jealousy with cognitive therapy see Bishay et al. (1996) and Dolan & Bishay (I996a; 1996b). TO review examples of treating jealousy with cognitive behavioral therapy, see Bishay et al. (1989), deSilva & Marks (1994), and Deist (1986). Albert Ellis (1986, 1996) provides two examples of treating jealousy with rational-emotive therapy. Also, for examples of the use of couples therapy for the treatment of jealousy, see Glass & Wright (1997); Im et al. (1983); Margolin (1985); Ridley (1996); and Verhulst (1985). For examples of the use of systems therapy to treat a jealousy problem, see deSilva (1987); Friedman (1989); Green & Bobele (1988); and Teisman (1979). The most famous treatment of jealousy using psychoanalysis is, of course, the work of Sigmund Freud (1922/1955). Other publications include Fenichel (1955), Jones (1929/1950); and Riviere (1952). The psychodynamic approach is described in the treatment of the jealous spouse by T. L. Barker (1987). A combination of couples and psychodynamic therapy is described by Baumgart (1990), and a combination Of couples and individual therapy is described by Marks & deSilva (1991). For an integrated approach for treating jealousy, which includes a combination of the psychodynamic, systemic, behavioral, social-psychological, and evolutionary perspectives, see Pines (1992).
