The Family in Clinical Psychiatry breaks new ground by considering the role of family factors in psychiatric illness. It just is not another text on family therapy, but rather a comprehensive account of how family issues are relevant in the assessment and management of psychiatric illness in general. Given the reputation of the authors, it is bound to become a standard reference for psychiatrists, both trained and in training, as well as for other health professionals.

Review:
`Here is a book that pulls together a variety of research, theoretical, and practical materials to offer the general adult psychiatrist an overview of the family dimension ... a more than helpful introduction and it will provide a valuable source book for those experienced in considering the
immediate emotional environment of individual patients.'
Eddy Street, The Lancet
`The chapters are well written and information in each chapter is up-to-date and concise ... will be a useful source of reference to remind clinicians that clinical problems should be seen in the wider social context of the family.'
Dominic Lam, International Review of Psychiatry (1995)
`The book is clearly written, well structured and contains numerous references. It will be a valuable source for family therapy students who want to extend their exploration of the literature beyond the family therapy journals ... admirably produced.'
John Carpenter, University of Kent at Canterbury, Journal of Family Therapy, Volume 17, No. 2, May 1995
`If this volume is as influential as it deserves to be, then the situation in Britain could change. The book has a thoughtful preface and introduction suggesting justifying its existence and discussing the concepts and the measurement of family functioning ... scholarly, succinct, practical
and persuasive. It should be read by all psychiatrists in training but above all by those in practice. It is also an essential book for family therapists working with psychiatric patients.'
Christopher Dare, Institute of Psychiatry and the Maudsley Trust, British Journal of Psychiatry, Volume 167, August 1995
`they have provided a much needed bridge between standard psychiatric texts on the one side, and family therapy texts on the other ... Throughout the book the existing research literature is reviewed thoughtfully ... clinicians cannot fail to notice the relevance of this text to their
day-to-day work. The book is also a rich source of ideas for important further research.'
Peter Allman, Hereford County Hospital, Journal of Psychosomatic Research, Vol. 39, No. 3, 1995
`Although this book is written for psychiatrists who are not oriented toward including the family in their therapy, even family therapists will get something out of reading it.'
Ruth L. Rosen, The Psychotherapy Letter
`Reading this book will go some way to help clinicians make the necessary steps between understanding a patient and knowing what to say to them and their family. Throughout the book the existing research literature is reviewed thoughtfully ... clinicians cannot fail to notice the relevance of
this text to their day-to-day work. The book is ... a rich source of ideas for important further research.'
