Editorials
From the Publisher
"Both revolutionary and pragmatic. It is written by a teacher of therapy, and it stands as one of the very few "how-to" books that really give the reader an opportunity to learn from example."
"The book has justifiably become 'must' reading for family therapy practitioners and supervisors.''
