About this title

Synopsis

This helpful guide shows beginners how to move from the practice of individual therapy to the practice of family therapy, including discussions of both traditional and newer models in the field. In this how-to and practice-based book, the authors use an integrated approach that covers the major models of family therapy. The models are split into phases of assessment and treatment and provide direction for entry-level clinicians as they begin to practice. The book combines competency based ideas and practical examples of how to begin and proceed through the stages of family therapy from the intake interview through termination.
