About this book
Detailing a wide range of systemic approaches to mental health and relational issues, this essential guide demonstrates the power of family systems therapy as a means of fostering genuine human, relational, and societal transformation.
With contributions from more than 50 internationally recognized family therapy scholars and practitioners, this text illustrates how family systems therapy can provide a comprehensive, effective, and more humane approach to the dominant paradigm of mental health treatment. The book offers an integrative approach that blends action-oriented techniques with multigenerational and multicultural insights, and provides an understanding of children and adolescents' issues, couple crises, and losses and life adversities, and shares stories of resilience from families all over the world. Chapters explore how family and couple therapy can be used to address a variety of challenges, such as engaging children's voices in sessions, couples in which a partner suffers from a chronic illness or disability, strengthening family healing and resilience, teens at risk of suicide, the intricacies of power dynamics in couples, infertility, and much more.
This text is essential reading for mental health and human service practitioners, researchers, and policymakers, as well as graduate-level trainees in all mental health disciplines.
