New Techniques for Working with Abusive Families Says it All!

Don't let the name of this book hold you back. Cloe Madanes is recognized internationally as a master trainer of therapists and an innovator in the strategic approach to family therapy. This book contains breakthrough strategies and methods for dealing with adult and juvenile sex offenders and abusive husbands. It's a must read for anyone in who wants to have positive impact in these areas.

Great Book, with not such a great title

As a therapist working with survivors, their families and abusers, I found this to be one of the most useful books I have read on the topic. The writing was rich and interesting, the ideas were expressed simply and beautifully, and the actual examples of how to implement Madanes' ideas in the therapy room were presented clearly. I have become a better therapist from reading this book, and my clients have benefitted. I recommend this book to anyone working with abusers or the abused. I hated the title, and almost didn't buy it because of it, but the book is really worth it, even in hardback.
