The book presents a good description of the paradigm shift in the mental health therapy field from the era of family therapy to the postmodern period. The author, as always, does justice to the value of being curious and suspending judgement. She makes it clear about the power of being tenative and listening respectfully. I enjoyed the book.

The author provides with this book an outstanding book on psychotherapy that is a must to read for psychotherapists! By taking an ethical stance on how to be WITH people and the moral order of language use the author gives hope, democracy and practices to the notion of collaboration in therapeutic conversations and beyond! I really recommend this book both for practice enhancement and also to challenge our stance and conceptions of psychotherapy today!

This is an excellent book on family therapy from a postmodern or collaborative stance.
It gives you some history about the modern and postmodern forms of therapy.
It also presents some innovative and useful concepts.
I liked very much the book and it helped me a lot in my clinical practice.

I had to get this book for a graduate class I was taking. What a waste. It is a commercial for all the other docs and videos Harlene sells on her web site. Absolutely nothing is free. You must pay for everything to extend the learning from this book.
