The Essentials of Family Therapy – 7th Edition
The Essentials of Family Therapy delivers a practical, clinically focused introduction to the field of family therapy. This widely used text explores the history of family therapy, its major theoretical schools, and modern developments shaping today’s clinical practice.
Written in a clear, accessible style, the book combines real-world case studies with step-by-step explanations to help readers understand why therapeutic techniques work — and how to apply them effectively in practice.
Ideal for students, counselors, therapists, and mental health professionals seeking a strong foundation in family systems theory and intervention strategies.
