It's like taking a Structural Family Therapy course!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I purchased this book for a graduate course in Couples and Family Systems. If anyone wants to learn a great deal about structural family therapy, I highly recommend this book. It is extremely informative and very readable. It's amazingly enlightening- Minuchin discusses how problems that are regarded as genetic or biological are really manifestations of dysfunctional families,e.g. anorexic women are a product of couples who withhold their feelings.
Structural Family Therapy Explained
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Sal Minuchin is known as the primary theoretician behind Structural Family Therapy. Structural Therapy is especially helpful with families that have inappropriate boundaries or that have dysfunctional marital dyads. This book explains the concepts behind the theory and helps the clinician understand how to put the therapy into practice. The book is well written and easy to read.Even if a therapist is primarily working with another counseling theory, this is an important book to have read and to have as part of the therapeutic repetoire.
