The book's accessible, solution-focused approach shows small therapeutic steps changing families, communities, and clinical practice for the better. Included in the coverage:
At once down-to-earth and inspiring, Family Therapy as Socially Transformative Practice is a must read for those interested in family therapy and family-centered practices and policies. |
