Integrating Family Therapy

Synopsis

For both practitioners and researchers, brings together family psychology and systems theory to explore the ways that systems therapists think and behave to bring about needed family change in the context of other systems. The volume is divided into ten parts: clinical principles of systems therapy; developmental issues in families; assessment and research in family psychology; therapy with couples; gender and ethnic issues; medical systems; other larger systems and contexts (i.e., work and school); coercion and substance abuse; the self of the systems therapist; and future directions for family psychology and systems.
