Beyond Technique in Family Therapy : Finding Your Therapeutic Voice

Rating:
Summary: chris lowney
Review: Simon has pulled off a rare feat with with his splendid book, "Beyond Technique in Family Therapy." This highly respected family therapist writes in a way that even those with little or no professional background in the field can comprehend. He's equally insightful--and equally lucid--in his fascinating presentation of key philosophical themes.
I believe that his book is aimed primarily at therapists or those still studying to enter the field, but the book will have appeal to a wide range of others: generalists who want to learn a bit more about philosophy, family therapy, and their interplay; those interested in western philosophy who want to learn how it affects this important field; those who are in (or who have been in) therapy who want to step back and reflect on the therapuetic process. An all-around triumph that deserves to find a wide audience.
