Description
In Therapy Together: Family Therapy as a Dialogue is a thought-provoking new text that conceptualises family therapy as a dialogue between living, breathing people. It moves away from the medically-focused 'problem-diagnosis-treatment' model of psychotherapy to emphasise the mutuality and relational context of a therapeutic encounter. The book provides close analysis of rich case studies, combined with an examination of key theories and concepts from different schools of thought in family therapy. A particular focus is placed on dialogical thinking, exploring how these theoretical concepts can be applied in everyday practice situations. Written by a leading expert in the field, this insightful new addition to Palgrave's Basic Texts in Counselling and Psychotherapy series provides an accessible exploration of complex family therapy practices. This book will prove invaluable reading for those studying family therapy specifically, as well as students taking more general counselling and psychotherapy courses and practitioners looking for a fresh source of guidance.
