Summary: Major Contribution to the Literature about Marriage Therapy
Review: This very expensive book is a must for all students and practitioners of the art and science of marriage therapy. It is valuable because the contributors span the globe. The articles have a world perspective rather than a narrow American point of view. In addition, the theoretical views of the authors range from behavioralism to psychotherapy. The breath of the book is both a blessing and a curse. There is little consistancy in writing style. Some of the articles are very accessable while some are like wading through mud. Despite this, I highly recommend this book to those who are either graduate students or faculty in academic programs focused on marriage and family therapy.
