Marriage and Family Therapy

This work redefines the profession and practice of systemic therapy, organizing material by presenting issue rather than intervention. A first of its kind resource for clinicians, researchers, educators, graduate students, and policymakers, this authoritative four-volume Handbook is a ground-breaking reference work on both the profession and the practice of systemic family therapy. The Handbook integrates the scholarly literature on systemic interventions focused on children, couples, and families into a single resource.

A comprehensive guide to international couple and family therapy, this work brings the work of experts from psychology, social work, and counselling together into a single volume. It covers major concepts, techniques, persons, and terms in couple and family therapy, linked together with citations for additional reading. An excellent starting place.

Regarded as the authoritative reference and text, this handbook presents the most effective, widely studied approaches to couple therapy. The coeditors bring together other leading experts, most of whom developed the approaches they describe. Adhering closely to a uniform structure to facilitate study and comparison, chapters cover the history, theoretical and empirical underpinnings, and techniques of each model. The volume also describes cutting-edge applications for particular relationship contexts (such as blended families, LGBT couples, and separated couples) and clinical problems (such as partner aggression, psychological disorders, and medical issues).

This reference work is for students, educators, supervisors, researchers, and practitioners and covers important topics in counseling. More than 400 entries span the 2009 CACREP core areas used in counselor preparation, continuing education, and accreditation of counseling degree programs.
