Featuring rich case examples, this book has helped tens of thousands of students and therapists build the skills and confidence needed to tackle the full range of issues that families bring to therapy. Rather than advocating one best approach, Robert Taibbi shows that there are multiple ways to guide families and harness their strengths. The book maps out the challenges and process of the beginning, middle, and end stages of treatment; presents creative strategies for assessment and intervention with parents and kids of all ages; analyzes how working with individuals can effect helpful changes in couples and families; and offers practical tips for overcoming common roadblocks. End-of-chapter reflection questions and experiential exercises encourage readers to develop their own clinical style. New to This Edition * Reflects the author's clinical experience and recent advances in the field. * Extensively revised chapter on core concepts: process, patterns, problems, and resistance. * More detailed guidelines for conducting the first session and doing assessments. * Concrete treatment maps for adolescent issues.See also the author's Doing Couple Therapy: Craft and Creativity in Work with Intimate Partners.
"A refreshingly practical insider's guide to the day-to-day work of family therapy. Taibbi opens his practice and invites us to experience the adventure of being a family therapist. He mentors the reader with wit and wisdom, creativity and conviction. Filled with fresh insights and inspiration, this book provides clinicians with clear direction and confidence for taking on the complexities of family work. It is a tried-and-true resource for both novice and experienced practitioners."--James L. Furrow, PhD, Evelyn and Frank Freed Professor of Marital and Family Therapy, Fuller Theological Seminary "If I were to recommend only one family therapy text to a graduate student, this would be it. The third edition is an outstanding, thorough update that skillfully weaves in new insights from neuroscience, medicine, mindfulness, and trauma research. Most important for any beginning family therapist, the third edition is even more chock full of creative techniques for managing each clinical moment and the whole arc of family treatment. I've been practicing for 45 years, and I find Doing Family Therapy to be stimulating and clinically wise, as well as fun. It reminds me of why I fell in love with family therapy in the first place."--David C. Treadway, PhD, private practice, Weston, Massachusetts "Looking for an introduction to family therapy that is comprehensive, practical, and engaging? Try this book. In a disarmingly entertaining style, Taibbi addresses fundamental aspects and challenges of doing family therapy with acumen and depth."--Harry J. Aponte, MSW, LCSW, LMFT, Department of Couple and Family Therapy, Drexel University "Doing family therapy can be challenging even for the most experienced of us--and for beginners it can be an ordeal for both the family and therapist. That is why this book is such a valuable resource. Taibbi draws from a variety of approaches and integrates them smoothly into a highly pragmatic work that includes concrete advice and realistic examples. I recommend it for novice therapists, who will take comfort in the clarity of Taibbi's guidance, as well as veterans, who will find plenty of material with which to identify and compare notes."--Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, Teaching Associate in Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School "Taibbi offers us front-row seats for observing the heart and soul of family therapy at its best. With depictions of challenging family cases, he does a brilliant job of bringing to life the importance of passion, courage, risk taking, and humor in clinical work. This is a great resource to turn to for practical family therapy tools and strategies--and for a strong dose of inspiration when feeling stuck."--Matthew D. Selekman, MSW, LCSW, Director, Partners for Collaborative Solutions, Evanston, Illinois
