Opis

This text presents a different approach to understanding the family unit and how and why it functions as it does. The approach focuses on the cognitions of family members and how these, in turn, shape individuals' behaviour and the functioning of the family system.

Recenzje

"An extremely useful and timely model for applying cognitive-behavioral theory...to the family....Highly recommended."
—CHOICE

"Excellent writing, conscientious documentation, and thorough discussion based on research and theory make [this] book valuable to family scientists and practitioners....a highly readable book for upper division undergraduate courses and graduate seminars. Furthermore, the book is concrete enough to be of value to many lay persons."
—Journal of Marriage and the Family
