Opis

A collection of favorite tried and true interventions, 101 More Interventions in Family Therapy includes interventions that apply to a wide variety of situations and clientele--individuals, couples, and families. Similar to the first book, 101 Interventions in Family Therapy, interventions related to family configurations, treatment settings, and problem areas, as well as those for specific situations, are explored. In addition, this new volume features interventions from a wide variety of family therapy orientations, including strategic, behavioral, family of origin, and solution focused; different problem issues, client/family types, and clinician approaches; and interventions especially suited to a variety of ethnic, racial, gender, and class contexts. The interventions in this volume are also indexed, making it easy for you to find specifics.
