A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Social workers have worked with families for over 100 years. Drawing on this rich history, the authors develop a clear, flexible approach to couples and family therapy, which accommodates family and individual intervention, multiple methodologies, and the institutions where social workers practice. To create this approach, Robert Constable and Daniel B. Lee draw upon the contributions of family therapy, symbolic interactionist social psychology, as well as a century's tradition of social work with families. Using social work as an overall framework, the authors show how to use, draw on, and integrate a variety of schools of thought into therapy. A teaching goal of this book is to elaborate the process and content of social work with families. Content and process are used to integrate various theory bases. Process is an interaction sequence, taking place between family members at different stages of family development, and with the social worker. Content reflects the purposes of the intervention, helping families reconstruct relationships. The many case studies and examples reflect the content and process of situations that social workers encounter every day in family work.
