| Summary |
"This volume consolidates the gamut of strategies and techniques that abound in the field of family therapy, with the aim of improving the therapist's ability to address each family's needs with the most effective tools available. By applying this integrative approach to each unique set of circumstances, the practitioner can draw from a plethora of relevant techniques, models, and constructs to create viable treatment plans. A review of the major theories and integrative treatments provides the groundwork for the tailored approaches to common family problems such as addiction, violence, and career issues that follow. Illustrative case examples and clinical observations guide the therapist in implementing new approaches suited to the situation at hand. Family Therapy Techniques is an inspiring text for students of all levels, but also an eye-opening read for seasoned practitioners who have long felt confined by the tenets of a single therapy model."--BOOK JACKET |
