Synopsis

In his foreword Dr. Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy writes "...the rich illustrative/clinical materials of this book provide a very useful contribution to the literature. It is a helpful reading even for the reader who is familiar with the basic texts of the approach... [Dr. Goldenthal] has been able to grasp and distinguish the ethical dimension of relationship as a key therapeutic factor. The illustrations from his practice will help the reader to see how many contextual principles may be applied in working with families in general and with children in particular." This unique and powerful integrative approach to the treatment of individuals, couples, and families brings together individual psychodynamic thinking and family systems formulations and concepts. This book will help clinicians ask appropriate questions about fairness in family relationships. Vignettes illustrating clinical interventions are included. The flavor and richness of the complex and innovative approach developed by Boszormenyi-Nagy and his colleagues is ably captured by the author. A truly unique and timeless title.
