Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1987. Basic Concepts in Family Therapy: An Introductory Text presents seventeen basic psychological concepts that you may use in understanding your family or, if you are a member of the helping professions, your clients' families. Each chapter focuses on a single concept using material from three sources: family therapy literature; basic psychological and clinical research studies, and cross-cultural research studies. By combining the findings of family therapy practitioners with the empirical findings of basic psychological researchers and cross-cultural researchers we can deepen our understanding of the usefulness of each of these constructs, as well-as their limitations.
