Textbook of family and couples therapy clinical applications /

Synopsis

Family therapy is based on the conception that psychopathology rests in the family system rather than the individual. Sholevar (psychiatry, Thomas Jefferson U.) and Schwoeri (U. of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey) present 38 articles that discuss the basic theory, examine techniques of therapy with families and couples, address the treatment of specific disorders, and present reviews of current research.
