Description
This book describes author H Charles Fishman's model for family therapy, called Intensive Structural Therapy, which looks beyond the immediate nuclear family to consider the broader social contexts of family dysfunction. Fishman attempts to update family therapy to incorporate the new realities and frightening challenges that American families face today by understanding different family structures and the ways that peers, work, school, and the law can all become part of a family’s dysfunction. Written as a practical guide for clinicians, this book includes clear instructions and many case studies to help with the practicing of intensive structural therapy.
