Description
This new Handbook of Family Therapy is the culmination of a decade of achievements within the field of family and couples therapy, emerging from and celebrating the dynamic evolution of marriage and family theory, practice, and research. The editors have unified the efforts of the profession's major players in bringing the most up-to-date and innovative information to the forefront of both educational and practice settings. They review the major theoretical approaches and break new ground by identifying and describing the current era of evidence-based models and contemporary areas of application. The Handbook of Family Therapy is a comprehensive, progressive, and skillful presentation of the science and practice of family and couples therapy, and a valuable resource for practitioners and students alike.
Reviews / Votes
"The editors of this important Handbook have taken on the matchmaker role in a most challenging context. They have drawn together a most interesting gathering of authors, some of whom focus on the 'state of the science' of family therapy, some of whom focus on the 'state of the art' of family therapy. I applaud the editors' matchmaking efforts." -- from the foreword by Alan S. GurmanMore details
