[Tamara M · Rating 3 out of 5]

100 Key points & techniques of family therapy - is a good resource of introduction to different aspects of family therapy. The book covers many topic from different aspects of system theory to legal and practical advices for family counselors; chapters are short and easy to read and follow. However, this book is more like an overview which means that if you are interested in a particular aspect of this therapy you'll have to research beyond this book. But it's still a good resource to make you informed and make you think about different areas of family and marriage therapy.
