Recenzje

"When families seek help they are often struggling to know how best to be parents. Salvador Minuchin’s Families and Family Therapy is as relevant and effective today as it was when he first published it in 1979. Minuchin was the first family psychiatrist to present a way forward for family relationships to work effectively and proactively as distinct from diagnosing what does not work. Families and Family Therapy, used with appropriate cultural sensitivity, is essential reading for clinicians and educators in family therapy." – Banu Moloney, The Bouverie Family Centre, La Trobe University, Australia.
