Family therapy: concepts and methods. Nichols M.P., Davis Sh.D.

This book can serve as an ideal “road map” for current and future clinicians who think about choosing further specialization and consider working with families as one of the options. This wide in its coverage and deep in content, carefully thought out and clearly set out the book, contains a description of the basic principles and techniques of the source models of family therapy, as well as models that later appeared, which are illustrated by many examples from clinical practice connecting the theory with life. The first edition of the book was published in the mid-80s. Each subsequent publication was meticulously edited and updated by the authors who tried to walk in the leg with the evolution of family therapy.

The present, the twelfth edition reflects the latest achievements of family therapy - including in its sociocultural context, in which family therapists fulfill their hard and responsible mission.
