Product Description
A master class in family therapy--now updated with an additional ten years' case experience
Few people have had as profound an impact on the theory and practice of family therapy as Salvador Minuchin. As one commentator put it, "Memories of his classic sessions have become the standard against which therapists judge their own best work." This new edition of the classic, Mastering Family Therapy, offers beginners and experienced practitioners alike the opportunity to learn the art and science of family therapy under this pioneering clinician and teacher.
In elegant clinical interplays, Minuchin, his colleagues Wai-Yung Lee and George Simon, and eight advanced students provide answers to such critical questions as:
* What does it take to master the art of family therapy?
* How do I create an effective personal style?
* How can I become an instrument for growth for troubled families?
This updated Second Edition features:
* An overview and critique of new models of treatment in the field, especially evidence-based models of family treatment
* New case material highlighting the impact of societal context on families
* Minuchin's conceptualization of a four-step process of family assessment, including how history can impact current family functioning
A new and thoroughly revised version of the classic text, Mastering Family Therapy, Second Edition is essential reading for all those who practice, study, or teach family therapy.

A Wonderful Book on the Current State of Structural Family Therapy December 22, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
In this work, the reader gets a taste of the current state of affairs in Structural Family Therapy. The book is broken into two parts. Part I is on theory and clinical practice while Part II is a series of eight chapters in the lives of various supervisees of Minuchin written as personal narratives. Throughout the work, Minuchin cuts in with an insertion from his point of view. After these personal accounts are rendered, the authors (if still with us) give a ten year look-back perspective on the experience in light of their life and practice. A highly insightful and enjoyable work. A must read for all systemic therapists or those sympathetic to this type of work.
Rev. Sean Michael McLaughlin, Pastoral Counselor and Executive Director of Ferrar Family Services
