Description
The Practice of Family Therapy: Key Elements Across Models is a comprehensive resource for therapists and counselors seeking to understand the fundamental principles that underpin effective family therapy. Written by Suzanne Midori Hanna and Derek A. Ball, this text bridges the gap between theory and practice by identifying the essential elements that remain constant across various therapeutic approaches.
The book systematically examines how different therapeutic models—from systems theory to narrative therapy—share common foundational practices. Readers will discover practical strategies for assessment, intervention, and treatment planning that can be adapted to their specific therapeutic orientation. The authors provide clear explanations of how to implement these key elements while maintaining flexibility and responsiveness to diverse family systems.
This is an invaluable resource for graduate students, practicing therapists, and those seeking professional development in family therapy. The integrated approach makes it easier for practitioners to synthesize knowledge from multiple models and develop a coherent, evidence-based approach to family treatment.
