Supporting and Strengthening Families: Methods, Strategies, and Outcomes

This collection of papers updates the thinking and practices described in Enabling and Empowering Families since it went to press in 1987, building and elaborating upon the model described in the earlier book. Supporting and Strengthening Families includes methods and strategies developed since the earlier book was published and is intended as a companion text to Enabling and Empowering Families.

The book addresses theory, practice and outcomes of adopting an empowerment and family resource approach to supporting families and strengthening individual and family functioning. The book should prove valuable to university faculty, program directors and administrators, and practitioners.
