Theories and Strategies of Family Therapy

by Jon Carlson, Diane Kjos

Twelve major theories of family therapy are presented. The experts who appear in Allyn & Bacon's Family Therapy with the Experts video series write most of the content. Each chapter begins with a brief description of the theory and what makes it significant. The authors then delineate the clinical perspective and the way in which their approach deals with today's diverse family forms. The authors show how their theory is practiced by presenting ideas and then referencing sections in the corresponding video. For Therapists, Counselors, and those in the fields of education, psychology and social work.
