 Great overview! June 9, 2008
This book gives excellent overview of multiple methods of family therapy. I needed it for a class, but I will be keeping it because of it's easy use and my future in family therapy. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested or who will be going into therapy of any kind, family, individual, couples, etc.
 Wonderful Overview December 8, 2007
I asked my professor for an updated book that gave a large overview of the field of family therapy. Well laid out and shows a variety of different paradigms -- their optimal and nonoptimal techniques, lens, etc.
EXCELLENT - very readable November 3, 2007
This book is well written, very readable, and superbly organized. The chapters are concise and it never gets wordy or boring. And excellent introduction to family therapy for the beginner.

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I purchased this book for a graduate level course in family therapy. I found it very helpful in explaining the important theories of family therapy. It also highlights therapeutic techniques and provides vignettes of how the theory might apply in a real life situation. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a basic theoretical background in family therapy.
