Really helpful book for new practitioners to family therapy/systemic ways of working. Helpful and clear case vignettes with clear modes of interventions alongside how one might hypothesise family therapy cases and presenting difficulties. Book is also full of useful references and resources for further reading although references are old (from 70’s and 80’s) but that makes sense as the book is also relatively old (1986).

A good review about family therapy, some concepts and beginnings into this different perspective about human relations.
