Family Therapy: Fundamentals of Theory and Practice

By W.A. Griffin

First published in 1993. should be used as opposed to focusing on the techniques-with-theories-attached approach of other books in the same genre. The first volume in the Basic Principles Into Practice Series, this book provides an easy to under-stand, basic approach that eschews the latest treatment trends and buzzwords in family therapy to focus on a new way of thinking about using family relation-ships in treating behavioral disorders. Throughout, Dr. Griffin stresses the importance of learning to view and treat the family as a whole, often requiring a difficult conceptual shift in one's view of aberrant behavior. Readers will be rewarded with a core, rudimentary understanding of family therapy that will serve them well regardless of which family therapy models they later use in practice.
