This 4-volume set 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. Volume 1 includes critical information on the theoretical, practice, research, and policy foundations of the profession of systemic family therapy and its roles in an integrated health care system. Topics in Volume 2 (children and adolescents), Volume 3 (couples), and Volume 4 (family over the lifespan) reflect established and emerging interventions for the core difficulties in relationships that impact the mental and physical health of individuals, couples, and families. Contributors provide a balanced, integrative, and forward-looking analysis of the research, theory and interventions related to their topic illustrated with clinical examples. Particular attention is paid to cultural and family diversity throughout the work.
"This four-volume handbook captures the breadth, depth, and creative applications of systemic family therapy today and the healing potential of couple and family systems. The editors' coherent organization includes overarching foundations, practice models of relational treatment for children, adolescents, couples, and families, and research foundations, with a global perspective and attention to cultural diversity throughout." —Fred P. Piercy, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Virginia Tech University
