Description and Table of Contents
Description
Based on current research and theory, this text focuses on "doing"family therapy with differing kinds of clients, as opposed to surveying the methods and theories in family therapy. The authors offer a carefully researched look at contemporary family structures and living arrangements, specifically focusing on five family forms: single-parent-led families, remarried families, cohabiting couples, gay and lesbian couples, and dual-career marriages.The authors detail common problem areas from a family systems perspective and offer intervention guidelines with each family type. Numerous case studies and counseling strategies are described in detail. This book should be of interest to students on family therapy courses offered in departments of psychology, counsellor education, social work and health sciences.
