DESCRIPTION

The 4th edition of this Family Therapy text (publication date: 2011) which has become a classic in the 30 years of it's use, expands even further new and more comprehensive ways to think about human development and the life cycle, reflecting changes in society away from orientation toward the nuclear family, toward a more diverse and inclusive definition of family. This expanded view of the family includes the impact of issues at multiple levels of the human system: the individual, family households, the extended family, the community, the cultural group, and the larger society. The text features a ground-breaking integration of individual male and female development in systemic context; discussion of our nation's increasing racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity across the life cycle; life cycle perspectives on LGBT issues, alcohol, sexuality, migration, social class, violence in the family, and assessment of "home place" as fundamental to clinical work.

This is an essential book for therapists searching for creative, systemic and non-pathologizing methods to understand the families they are working with and to understand their own family of origin stories in a deeper and more compassionate way. In a very powerful way, the book provides a clear method to evaluate for the ways that the many dysfunctions of our society may impact our clients through time rather than blaming clients for these dysfunctions. The text takes us far beyond seeing clients as individuals with pathologies and in collaboration with many referenced multidisciplinary sources the authors create a framework for understanding families as they travel through multiple generations and the life cycle. The framework provided allows for but is not limited to for analysis of the family across multiple generations taking into account stressors such as poverty, racism, classism, sexism, homo/bi/transphobia, socio-cultural contexts, life cycle transitions, unpredictable stressors (such as trauma), historical, political, and economic events. The framework is an integral tool in eliciting family stories that help both families and clinicians see both the pain and the strengths woven throughout the lives of those we work with.

The book broadens psychological and developmental frameworks that have historically limited clinicians to viewing clients as individuals with internal problems and creates a way to assess and understand individuals within their current and historical cultural and family contexts. This framework is powerful as it truly deepens our understanding of how a family is functioning through time and helps select the interventions that will be the most healing given client's particular history and cultural background.
