Family Therapy Basics

by Mark Worden

This text provides readers with the critical link between theory and practice illustrating how to actually "do" family therapy. It is a nuts-and-bolts primer that takes students step-by-step through the process of conducting family therapy sessions. The book starts with the initial session and finishes with the terminating session covering assessment, diagnosis, skills and techniques needed throughout each stage. The case of the Martin family, a blended family, is followed throughout the treatment process.

Straightforward family therapy text. Nothing special.

This is a concise but useful introduction to family systems therapy. I expect it will be a good launching pad, whenever I start counseling.
