Doing Family Therapy: Craft And Creativity In Clinical Practice( Series - Guilford Family Therapy Series )

Now in a revised and expanded second edition, this popular text helps students and clinicians build essential skills common to all family interventions. The entire process of systemic therapy is richly illustrated with chapter-length case examples. Rather than advocating one best approach, the author shows that there are multiple ways of working, and provides reflection questions and exercises that encourage readers to develop their own clinical style. The second edition has been updated throughout to reflect evolving service delivery models, new treatment approaches, and the increased use of medications for children and teens. It features expanded coverage of basic practice principles, the nature of client resistance, ethical issues, cultural diversity, and more.
