Description
Book SynopsisThe last twenty years have seen an explosion of new, innovative, and empirically supported therapeutic approaches for treating families. Noted scholar and clinician Jay Lebow has brought together master therapists to guide practicing therapists and students through treatment approaches for the most commonly seen family problems.
Trade Review"Without a doubt, Lebow's text should become the family clinician's primary 'ready-reference' office study guide for current individual, couple and family related clinical problems, as well as-if it has not already-become the preeminent undergraduate/graduate text of the day for therapists-in-training."
