"It is definitely packed full of facts, but comparing it to :THeory-Based Treatment Planning for Marriage and Family Therapists" by Gehart and Tuttle (shich I am reading at the same time for the same Family Therapy class) I find this book confusing. I have taken to reading the chapter in the Gehart and Tuttle before I read the chapter in this book about the same theory just to make sure I understand what I am reading about. I also find there are a lot of, "culturisms" in this book...I know that isn't a word, but I can't think of the right one...lots of American slang and metaphors that I wonder if my classmates from other countries are understanding. To me, that is unprofessional in a textbook."
"Good try but laborious reading that characterizes any generic psychology textbook. The prose is dry and uninteresting, which is a shame considering family therapy can easily make for some of the more interesting writing in the field. The book takes a broad perspective, and so has an advantage over, say, Minuchin who has his own theory or typical psychotherapy books which may have a chapter overview on family therapy.
I never read The Family Crucible, but I've heard that does a good job illustrating the practice of family therapy. I would recommend Shifting the Center even though it's a sociology anthology that explores issues of family and kinship. I have found that often a missing crucial piece in therapy of any kind is a good understanding of the real life conditions and issues of people in treatment, and while Shifting the Center is not about treatment, it does raise awareness of many important issues in treatment, and especially family treatment. For that reason, I recommend it before Family Therapy. I'm sure there are better books out there, or that have yet to be written, that blend the two. I'm just waiting to find them."
"The cover changes with every edition, so MFT students may not recognize it except by title. This is probably the best summary text for marriage and family therapy (MFT) out there and is used in just about every MFT training program--including the one I teach at, NCU."
