Description
About the Book
"As I think back over the years that I have taught graduate students family therapy, what always comes to mind is the excitement on the faces of my students when they learned a new family therapy mode and it clicked! They learned theory with a little eagerness. They watched videos with glee and I gave them examples of how each of the models worked. They asked me whether certain models worked for certain situations. They debated with each other about the importance of acknowledging emotions. Some even wondered how family therapists from the 1950's could possibly create a model for families in the twenty first century. There were many views expressed, and curious faces that needed assurance. They seemed satisfied for the most part, until they entered a therapy room with a family. Then the overarching question was, "now, what do I do?""--Book Synopsis
Learn how to take different models of therapy from theory to real world practice
Delivering proven therapeutic strategies that can be used immediately by students of marital and family therapy, this text brings 15 modern and postmodern therapy models to life through guiding templates and interviews with master therapists. The text progresses step-by-step through marriage and family essentials, describing in detail the systemic mindset and basic terminology used by the marriage and family therapist. Interviews with such master therapists as Albert Ellis, David V. Keith, and Mariana Martinez--who each provide commentary on a single case study--give readers the opportunity to observe different models in action, clarifying theory and practice simultaneously. Instructive templates for each model illuminate the nuts and bolts of the therapy process and help instructors bring content to life, so students can visualize and practice the process.
The updated third edition presents new interviews with master therapists, a new case study that reflects the modern-day client, and a section on social justice in each chapter.
