The history of family therapy provides a most interesting read and the chapter on dealing with crisis and trauma very insightful.
A really accessible introductory text on family therapy which offers a comprehensive of the key theories and concepts Well-structured and laid out with helpful case examples.
Very good text for graduate class. Comprehensive for those students who are looking to understand the vocabulary, models and the needs of families and children in particular.

I am using a companion book because the focus of this class is counseling addictive families.
Excellent text. Will continue to use in future courses. Readable and thorough
Having thought two classes the Family Systemic Counselling Theroy and Skills module this year I would recommend that this book be added to the core text book list in our bibliography for this module. This book covers most of the topics in the narratives for this module and it would be of great benifit to our students.
An excellently written and structured book, giving the reader an excellent overview of all aspects of Family Therapy.

The book best addresses the Social Work Concentration of Globally-Focused Family-Centered Practice.
An exciting book examining family therapy from a range of approaches. An essential text for family and couple therapists to expand their knowledge of althernative approaches to family work. It was a pleasure to see humanistic approaches alongside systemic and psychodynamic, to name a few. The writing style, although rich in technical detail, is accessible and readble.
Excellent overview of all family therapy models. Can use as basis of course before students go to literature to get latest updates.
