Summary

The editor of the classic "Ethnicity and Family Therapy" explores the ways that clients' lives, and family therapy itself, are constrained by larger forces of racial, cultural, sexual, and class-based inequality. This groundbreaking volume expands the boundaries of the field and works toward truly inclusive clinical practice. Integrating theoretical exposition, case studies, and autobiographical narratives, the book offers concrete suggestions for improving family therapy.
