The Answer Within: A Family in Therapy Re-Examined

by Moshe Lang

The Black family entered therapy seeking answers to long-standing relationship problems. With their permission, the sessions were recorded and combined with the therapist's commentary in the landmark book, A FAMILY IN THERAPY. More than 20 years after these sessions, therapist Moshe Lang revisits his work with the Blacks, updating his original comments and re-appraising his techniques in light of developments in famiyl therapy practice, expanding clinical research and hindsight. Unique and provocative, THE ANSWER WITHIN is both a touching account of one family's attempt to heal and an invaluable discussion of the therapist's role. It is a seminal resurce for psychologists, therapists and students, as well as anyone looking for a better understanding of family therapy.

[Chava]

A follow-up on A Family in Therapy, reviewing the sessions with the Black family several years after they were seen by psychologist and family therapist Moshe Lang. Every chapter discusses a session with the same family and finishes with a review and reflection on the session. A great book for beginning therapists.
