This volume presents flexible strategies for family counseling intervention that can be tailored, amended, and applied to clinical practice. Designed to appeal to professionals of beginning, intermediate, or advanced levels, it caters to an even broader range of ethnic, racial, gender, and class contexts than did its predecessor. The volume also encompasses a wider variety of family therapy orientations, including strategic, behavioral, family of origin, solution focused, and narrative. Specifically, it includes effective and useful assessment strategies, therapy that addresses school and career problems, questions to use in solution-focused therapy, questions to use in narrative therapy, and ideas for resolving intergenerational issues.
