Summary: A Genuine Masterpiece
Review: There are plenty of "family therapy" tomes these days, but few that describe honest-to-god paradigam shifts, that change the very way we think about the nature of help. This is one of those books. It is a masterpiece of original thinking from one of great humanistic leaders of our field -- a therapist who has always wanted to help the family, not make a brilliant diagnosis or find the right pill. Start with this book, then read all of the author's other books; they all should be required for any person who carries a family therapy license. And you should look for them on the book shelf of your therapist in his or her office.
