Riassunto

“Systemic family therapy owes a debt of gratitude to Rudi Dallos and Ros Draper who have delivered a fifth edition of the book that has provided essential scaffolding for systemic family therapists for over two decades. This latest edition holds onto its original, clear, and coherent telling of the development of systemic family therapy.”
Rachel Watson, Institute of Family Therapy, London, UK

“Like a well-constructed remix Rudi Dallos and Ros Draper have provided a tour through the landscape of family therapy and systemic practice, from its historical beginnings through to the here-and-now…I recommend this book without hesitation and reservation. This remix should be “listened to” and returned to many times, as it keeps on giving.”
Dr Ramón Karamat Ali, MSc Research Lead, Manchester, UK; Director of Training and Development at KA Conversations Ltd.

“With genuine enthusiasm, I wholeheartedly recommend An Introduction to Family Therapy, 5th edition by Dallos & Draper.”
Dr Sonam Pelden, Academic Lead for Counselling, School of Arts and Humanities, Edith Cowan University, Australia

The fifth edition of the bestselling An Introduction to Family Therapy provides a comprehensive overview of the core concepts informing family therapy and systemic practice, covering the development of this innovative field from the 1950s to the present day.

The book considers both British and International perspectives and includes the latest developments in current practice, regulation and innovation, examining these developments within a wider political, cultural and geographical context. The fully revised fifth edition also contains new material on:

• Developments in Neuropsychology and Trauma Theory and its relevance for family therapy practice
• Illustrations of the techniques of the core schools of Family Therapy
