Description and Table of Contents

Description

The third edition of this text provides an introduction to the field of family therapy. It offers a basic orientation to the field and covers all the main contemporary schools of family therapy. It also presents a coherent model of therapy which students can apply as they start learning the skills they need to work effectively with families. The book has been thoroughly revised to take account of the considerable advances in this fast-growing field. It discusses some new theoretical ideas and describes innovative techniques which have been developed in the six years since the second edition was published.
