Terrific book, terrible format on kindle

I first of all, this is an amazing book, but please do not buy it for Kendall. The formatting is terrible on Kindle devices, and almost impossible to read.

That being said, this is one of the most exhaustive books on family life cycles, I can imagine ever having been written. It’s not only well written, it’s easy to comprehend and is a great reference.

Even though the format on Kindle was difficult, I still found the book, engaging enough that I read it in a week’s time. Very helpful for clinicians.

Read the text for a class. The text was usable and easy to understand as it was read. The book had a lot of information on every page, and the font was smallish. Overall, I'll keep this one on the shelf for later reference.

Required for therapy school. One of the more interesting textbooks we were assigned in our first semester. Considers individuals and relationships from a holistic and critical "ecological" perspective, which I really appreciate.

Pretty good text. Info on genograms is there. Used this book as part of my family counseling class in Winter 2012 quarter.
