Minuchin is a master not only of the art of Family Therapy, but of informative prose as well. Very specific techniques for responding to a range of family dynamics are presented along with relevant theory and poignant vignettes. Though developed in the 1970's, Minuchin's vision for sparking change by "joining" and then working from within families remains powerful and relevant. The techniques in this well written manual resemble those of the modern Narrative Therapy movement, but are presented in a fashion both accessable to the Family Therapy novice and usefull to the seasoned professional.

I love this book! Bought it used with a bunch of other psychology books, didn't think much of it, but it turned out to be not only very useful, but very enjoyable to read. Minuchin is one of my very favorite therapists to watch and to read about, this book is like having him sit with you and explain his theories in detail. It is filled with case examples and transcripts of actual sessions. Not sure the book is going to turn me into a "master" like him, but it makes me feel like I have a few more very helpful tools in my family therapy toolbox! Highly recommended!

The Book Family Therapy Techniques is an excellent tool for new counselors. The book provides numerous family situations with an array of treatment approaches that a therapist can use to assist families. The various techniques used by the therapist help them improve relationships between parents, siblings, grandparents and children.

If you are a MFT graduate student, this Minuchin is a must-have reference. Why settle for someone's theory about Minuchin; learn first-hand. A graduate student's guide to better grades!

Book is in great shape. Took a while to get here but in great shape. Could have taken off the $1.99 good will sticker. Kind of made me feel like I was ripped off.

Very nice written book. It is full of examples from clinical practice. Easy to read.

It's the brand new one but the price is cheaper than used ones.Fast shipping!
