Customer Reviews

Overwhelming

Information overload. This text really freaked me out at first. Family therapy is kind of scary but this book helped in the end. This text is the perfect size and does not weigh 50lbs. It's a little larger than your standard composition book. Arrived in time and perfectly.

Wonderful Overview

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.

Student review

As a graduate student, I found this book very helpful. It is a perfect introduction to the subject writen with the care that teaches well. I would recommend this for any library that needs an excellent broad overview.

Dr. Mak

This is an excellent book. Better than 5th Edition. The best "Family Therapy" book in the marketing. I highly recommanded.

A Very Comprehensive and Thoughtful Text on Family Therapy

I have tried several books on family therapy as texts for my graduate course on Family and Couple therapy. This book is superior to other books that I have tried. The authors explain theoretical positions clearly and most importantly organize this vast area of social science into a well-organized discussion that is interesting and easy to follow. It is a serious text rather than convoluted and I'm thankful a text such as this for my students. Dr. Deborah Khoshaba
