A study and analysis of family therapy based on one of the best known textbooks in the field, Family Therapy, by Irene and Herbert Goldenberg. Family Therapy provides a balanced presentation of the major theoretical underpinnings and clinical practices in the field. By presenting an overview of traditional and evolving viewpoints, perspectives, values, intervention techniques, and goals of family therapy, the Goldenbergs provide current, relevant, practice-oriented content laying the foundation for students to become proficient family therapists. This edition provides students with not only traditional family therapy theoretical frameworks, but also introduces the field's evolving models and areas of practice, including gender, culture, and ethnicity, and alternative family structures such as single-parent families, remarried families, and gay and lesbian families
