Review
"Once again Monica McGoldrick succeeds in her efforts to lead us forward in our thinking about families and family therapy with written words that stretch even the most culturally aware and sensitive therapists. She has conscientiously brought the work of several distinguished authors together to have us broaden and 're-view' our thinking and practice with families through a cultural lens....I cannot think of a clinician, supervisor, educator, researcher, student, or therapist-in-training who would not find this volume useful in their practice of family therapy. Unlike other volumes in this area there was an energizing quality in the contents of this book which activated me to think and act, rather than just passively digest information about culturally diverse families."--Journal of Family Psychotherapy
"On the whole, Re-Visioning Family Therapy is carefully edited, the chapters well written, and the messages thoughtful and thought provoking....I recommend it as reading for all mental health professionals."--Psychiatric Services
"A timely and comprehensive source, this anthology provides a cultural lens for contextualizing reality. Amassing a stellar list of contributors, the book expands our views of families and establishes therapy as a more inclusive endeavor. Re-Visioning Family Therapy is an essential resource for every practitioner working with multicultural populations."--Lillian Comas-Díaz, PhD, Director, Transcultural Mental Health Institute; Editor-in-chief, Cultural Diversity and Mental Health
"With her visionary energy, Monica McGoldrick brings us a rare and satisfying book that extends the meaning of family therapy, expands the consciousness of the therapist, and insists that the reader be deeply changed in some fundamental way. To pay careful attention to the compelling insights in this volume--and I suggest you do--is to take a large evolutionary leap forward."--Harriet Lerner, PhD, author of The Dance of Anger
"This book delivers more than a new vision of family therapy. The contributors give us new practices, new theories, and new theories of practice which have revolutionary implications for all psychotherapies and thus for all clients who share their lives, cultures, and problems with us. This paradigm-shifting volume documents and illuminates how culture is not only a label for the 'other,' but a coat of many colors which gives meaning, feeling, and value to all our lives, and which, once we take the measure of its profundity, will explode our common-sense notions of identity, psyche, and psychotherapy."--Virginia Goldner, PhD, Senior Faculty, Ackerman Institute for the Family
"...offers compelling perspectives on society's most divisive issues and enhances the cultural competence of new and experienced therapists alike in working with families....contributors offer concrete suggestions for improving family therapy training and developing services that minority families may experience as more relevant to their lives....recommended for family therapy students, psychotherapy, social work, and counseling."--Wisconsin Bookwatch -- Review
Review
"For 20 years Ethnicity and Family Therapy has been a cornerstone for introducing students and professionals to the importance of viewing clients through a cultural lens. Undoubtedly, Re-Visioning Family Therapy will have the same influence in the profession of couple and family therapy. Monica McGoldrick has once again amassed expert contributors who provide numerous frameworks and examples that deepen our understanding of the sociopolitical contexts that affect families and the intersection between race, culture and gender in clinical practice. This book is an excellent resource for students, educators and trainers in couple and family therapy."--Stephanie Brooks, MSW, LCSW, LMFT, Assistant Professor & Associate Director, Master of Family Therapy Program, MCP Hahnemann University.
"Revisioning Family Therapy is an invaluable resource for instruction in the relationship among external dynamics like racism, sexism, classism, and heterosexism; family of origin systemic factors; and internal psychological perceptions like a sense of inferiority or superiority. The authors provide scholarly and practical insights into complex issues that influence the assessment and treatment of families in a multicultural society. This book is an essential text for any university or post-graduate program seriously engaged in the education of clinicians for therapy with diverse family systems."--Reo Leslie, Jr., DMin, LPC, Family Therapy/Play Therapy Institute, Aurora, Colorado

Re-Visioning Family Therapy; Race, Culture, and Gender in Clinical Practice is an assigned reading for my graduate psychology program. I enjoy the selections and find that they promote both social awareness and heart opening meditation. The voices are unique and honest, the chapters are well constructed.
I had to buy this book for school, but I truly enjoy reading it. The essays cover many different topics and I am learning a lot from it. It is so important for social workers and family therapists to have an analysis of race, culture and gender!
