Family Therapy

A comprehensive look at the theory and practice of working with families
Family Therapy: History, Theory, and Practice covers all aspects of working with couples and families. Grounded in evidence-based practice and the rich theoretical background of marriage and family therapy, the text presents important background information on healthy functioning families of all different compositions, includes an overview of how individual and family life cycles intertwine, and concretely and clearly illustrates (with a wealth of examples) the evidence-based interventions used in working with families that need counseling.

Thoroughly updated with over 240 new citations, the 7th Edition has added separate chapters on Psychodynamic Family Theories, Bowen Family Systems Theory, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and  Narrative Family Therapy.
