The Technique and Practice of Object Relations Familt Therapy

Excerpt from Preface by author: " This book extends the clinical application of object relations family therapy, which I pioneered in the United States. It uses the integration of psychoanalysis and family therapy developed in my previous book Object Relations: A Dynamic Bridge Between Individual and Family Treatment. This book is divided into four sections: Integration of Individual Family Theory and Practice, Family Patterns in Various Psychopathologies, Family Therapy Approaches, and Object Relations Techniques in Family Therapy. A review of theory and other family approaches is presented to serve as a foundation for understanding the framework and technique of object relations family therapy. The book is clinically oriented, with examples of case material to demonstrate how the therapist actually works in practice with the family."
