Family Therapy: A Systemic Integration (5th Edition)

Rating:
Summary: A great book for MFTs
Review: As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I found this book to provide a clear discussion of Marriage and Family Therapy models, and their roots in cybernetics. It is oriented for clinicians who practice from a systemic perspective. I had the 2nd edition in my training program in the 1990's and find myself yet referring to it for ideas about case conceptualization and questions about theory and practice.

Summary: Difficult to follow
Review: I am currently using this book as a MSW student. I find this book very difficult to follow and difficult to understand. I am also a family therapist who uses structural family therapy. The chapter in this bok confused me more than it helped me.

Summary: A great book for MFTs
Review: I am using this book for a Marriage and Family Therapy class. I found this book to be too difficult to understand and it took several readings to fully comprehend what they were trying to get across. Good concepts on Bowen but I would not recommend schools use this for an intro course. Its extremely frustrating.
