Technical but thorough categorization of family systems approaches
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The technical explanations would be better served with examples. It's descriptions are difficult to conceptualize. However, it does categorize different systems approaches, pointing out some strategies of each.
an intersting read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I felt that I learned a lot from this book. My problem with books like this is that they are textbooks and meant to help students of psychology or counseling. While this book is strong on the theoretical concepts of family therapy, it is not strong on practicality. Thus, this book is interesting, but not as helpful as it potentially could have been.

If you are interested in any aspect of family practice, this book is a must have. I must agree with prior reviews of the book--it is definitely a hard read. Fortunately, I had the privilege of being taught the author(s)-Dr. Becvar is/was on of my professors. Once the class ended, I understood the systemic approach to family therapy.
A great book for MFTs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I found this book to provide a clear discussion of Marriage and Family Therapy models, and their roots in cybernetics. It is oriented for clinicians who practice from a systemic perspective. I had the 2nd edition in my training program in the 1990's and find myself yet referring to it for ideas about case conceptualization and questions about theory and practice.
