Family therapy basics

Edición de la obra Family therapy basics

This basic "how-to" book provides a step-by-step outline from initial interview assessment to termination. Designed to help beginning therapists translate theory into action, Worden's book uses one case study throughout to show the initial meeting, working stages, and termination of family therapy. A range of questions highlights the important issues that families present in the therapy process. In addition, Family Therapy Basics presents practical guidelines for conducting family interviews that help build confidence from the first to the last therapy session; common clinical problems that serve as a springboard for theoretical/clinical discussions; and "treatment notes" within each chapter that represent the therapist's internal dialogue, such as: Should I push for all family members to attend the next session? and How do I engage the teenager?
