The Craft of Family Therapy

Readers learn how to develop their own personal therapeutic style and basic communication skills with one of the most influential family therapists, Salvador Minuchin. In The Craft of Family Therapy, he and his co-authors use detailed session transcripts to demonstrate basic therapeutic skills that allow family members to turn focus away from the Identified Patient and look at themselves as a unit. Transcripts from supervision sessions also highlight the fears new family therapists may have, and how they can overcome them.
