Description: Families and Family Therapy by Salvador Minuchin This special edition of the classic text includes a new introduction from Professor Arlene Vetere exploring its continuing influence on contemporary practice. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This special edition of the classic text includes a new introduction which explores its influence on, and place in, contemporary thought and practice. Families and Family Therapy combines vivid clinical examples, specific details of technique, and mature perspectives on both effectively functioning families and those seeking therapy. The views and strategies of a master clinician are presented here in such clear and precise form that readers can proceed directly from the book with comparisons and modifications to suit their own styles and working situations. The text presents six chapter-length transcripts of actual family sessions -- two devoted to ordinary families who are meeting their problems with relative success; four concerned with families seeking help. Accompanying each transcript is the authors running interpretation of what is taking place, laying particular stress on the therapists tactics and manoeuvres. These lively sessions are interpreted in a brilliant theoretical analysis of why families develop problems and what it takes to set them right.The author constructs a model of an effectively functioning family and defines the boundaries around its different subsystems, whether parental, spouse, or sibling. He discusses ways in which families adapt to stress from within and without, as they seek to survive and grow. Dr Minuchin describes methods of diagnosing or "mapping" problems of the troubled family and determining appropriate therapeutic goals and strategies. Different situations, such as the extended family, the family with a parental child, and the family in transition through death or divorce, are examined. Finally, the author explores the dynamics of change, examining the variety of restructuring operations that can be employed to challenge a family and to change its basic patterns. Author Biography Salvador Minuchin developed Structural Family Therapy, a method of psychotherapy which addresses problems in functioning within a family. In 2007, a survey of 2,600 psychotherapists named Minuchin as one of the ten most influential therapists of all time -- he actually came in at number 3. Table of Contents Foreword Arlene Vetere 1.

A Longitudinal View Epilog Review "When families seek help they are often struggling to know how best to be parents. Salvador Minuchins Families and Family Therapy is as relevant and effective today as it was when he first published it in 1979. Minuchin was the first family psychiatrist to present a way forward for family relationships to work effectively and proactively as distinct from diagnosing what does not work. Families and Family Therapy, used with appropriate cultural sensitivity, is essential reading for clinicians and educators in family therapy." – Banu Moloney, The Bouverie Family Centre, La Trobe University, Australia.
