Synopsis

Gathering together some of the most memorable articles that have appeared in the Networker since 1982, it chronicles the personal and professional challenges confronting today's family therapists. It looks at clinical advances in such diverse areas as couples therapy, brief treatment, approaches to substance abuse and family violence, and work with teens and small children. The Evolving Therapist traces the major debates of the last 10 years, from the therapeutic relevance of gender inequality to the ethics of constructivism. It explores the changing conceptions of the family therapist's role, while examining the impact of the decade's social, economic, and political tumult on our work.

About this title

Review:

"THE EVOLVING THERAPIST was a wonderful book of readings for my advanced undergraduate course on the Psychology of the Family. The personal and autobiographical reflections in many of the articles made the material come alive for the students, and was a rich addition to the more traditional assigned readings. I highly recommend this diverse and evocative collection of articles for both advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in the psychology of the family." --Professor Leslie Brody, Psych Department, Boston University
