Inside Family Therapy
Inside Family Therapy: A Case Study in Family Healing follows a family therapist's narrative diary as he documents the process of working with the Salazars through each stage of their relationship, from courtship to their children's departure from home. This unique casebook is an in-depth personal account from the counselor's perspective. Each major stage of the family life cycle is presented in a separate chapter. This book can accompany any family therapy text to give readers a more in-depth, personal view of how to conduct themselves as therapists. It discusses the effects of gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation on individuals and families, and explores the dynamics of relationships in a way that readers can also apply to their own lives.
