Family Therapy: A Systemic Integration (8th Edition) [Paperback]

Author: Dorothy Stroh Becvar Ph.D. Raphael J. Becvar Ph.D. - ISBN: 0205168132 - Language: English - Format: PDF, EPUB

DESCRIPTION

A comprehensive, user-friendly guide to marriage and family therapy that takes a holistic view to look at people within the context of their environment.

 

Family Therapy helps students understand the process of shifting from an individual psychology paradigm to a cybernetic or systems paradigm. The text is divided into three sections: "The Systemic Framework," "The Practice of Family Therapy," and "The Systemic Practitioner,” and it includes historical information, current developments, and ongoing debates.

 

Various family and developmental theories are examined. The family therapy models considered include psychodynamic, natural systems, experiential, structural, communications, strategic, behavioral/cognitive, and several post-modern approaches. Assessment, intervention, training and supervision, research, and epistemological challenges are discussed within the context of practice.

 

Upon completing this book readers will be able to:

• Describe and compare various family therapy models
• Discuss practical applications for different family and developmental theories
• Review and assess unique family systems to determine the appropriate family therapy model
• Understand how concepts with the same name differ in meaning at different levels (i.e. 1st order versus 2nd order cybernetics)

This book is an introduction to many facets of Family Therapy, so many times thought to be "one" thing, Family Therapy is many things. This book attempts to create a kind of opera magna in the sense that it gives a vast view regarding epistemology or various of the systems thoughts that nurture and continue to nurture the way family therapists think. The book goes on to cover many of the main "schools", "approaches" that have flourished along the years since it first appeared in the 1950s-1960s. this book benefits from the fact that both authors are senior members of the Family Therapy cluster and have met most of these authors and have first hand knowledge of the structure of each model presented in this book. Most importantly, the book covers boldly and thoroughly the issue of "self of the therapist", which is not unique to Family Therapy, yet second order cybernetics takes us along with this idea even further in the process of being part of the process of change for families.
