Summary

While there are many volumes that survey the burgeoning field of family therapy, FAMILY THERAPY SOURCEBOOK provides something different: a roadmap to both classic and state-of-the-art information on the foundational issues related to theory, research, and practice. More than a textbook or a summary of primary sources, this volume is a comprehensive guide to original source materials for the student or teacher of family therapy. Bringing together a wealth of information previously unavailable in a single volume, the book covers the traditional family therapies and more. In each chapter, the authors present a selective annotated bibliography, define key concepts, highlight current research issues, and propose creative teaching strategies. By including helpful assignments and experiential activities for educators, the authors share their own valuable expertise gained from years of teaching.
