Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Review:"This is a "must have" text for students new to the field. It does a great job of outlining tasks that must be completed during the treatment process. Samples of theoretical orientations, goals and the role of the therapist within each model give a strong overview of the field in a very brief format. Case examples make this text shine in the application of the theory." Synopsis:Create a step-by-step plan for family therapy with THE PRACTICE OF FAMILY THERAPY!
