| Summary |
"This popular introduction to the theory and practice of family therapy offers a comprehensive overview of the core concepts and ideas that have developed in systemic theory from the 1950s to the present day. Thoroughly updated with the latest research and developments, and illustrated throughout with lively examples drawn from clinical practice, this user-friendly guide provides practical resources and suggestions for improved therapeutic practice." "New to this edition is: a chapter on systemic formation; a chapter on practice development 2000-2004; increased coverage of the evidence base for the effectiveness of family therapy; stronger focus on attachment and psychodynamic perspectives; and comprehensive references to key people, events and texts." "This resource is for students and practitioners of family therapy, as well as those from the fields of counselling, psychology, social work and the helping professions who deal with family issues."--BOOK JACKET |
