The latest theory, research, and practice information for family
therapy
The last twenty years have seen an explosion of new, innovative,
and empirically supported therapeutic approaches for treating
families. Mental health professionals working with families today
apply a wide range of approaches to a variety of situations and
clients using techniques based on their clinically and empirically
proven effectiveness, their focus on specific individual and
relational disorders, their applicability in various contexts, and
their prominence in the field.
In this accessible and comprehensive text, each chapter covers
specific problems, the theoretical and practical elements of the
treatment approach, recommended intervention strategies, special
considerations, supporting research, and clinical examples. The
contributors provide step-by-step guidelines for implementing the
approaches described and discuss particular issues that arise in
different couple, family, and cultural contexts.
Handbook of Clinical Family Therapy covers treatment strategies
for the most common problems encountered in family therapy,
including:
* Domestic violence
* Adolescent defiance, anxiety, and depression
* Trauma-induced problems
* Stepfamily conflicts
* ADHD disruption
* Substance abuse in adults and adolescents
* Couple conflict and divorce
* Chronic illness
A detailed reference for today’s best treatment strategies, the
Handbook of Clinical Family Therapy brings together the top
practitioners and scholars to produce an innovative and
user-friendly guide for clinicians and students alike.
