Working with Families

THE LEADING REFERENCE FOR PRACTITIONERS TO LEARN ABOUT OR ENHANCE THEIR FAMILY THERAPY SKILLS The Third Edition of Working With Families continues to be the gold standard resource manual in family therapy, fusing the evidence-based approach of family systems theory with practical constructs and interventions that are both uncomplicated and fundamental to successful outcomes.

Edwards’ wealth of practice, education, and supervision and contributions from seasoned clinicians who knew him personally, this text provides useful tools, theoretical insights, and case examples that highlight the transformative potential of family therapy. This new edition offers a refreshed, contemporary update of John’s teachings, presented in a new multimodal format that accommodates a wide variety of learning styles, with session-by-session models for family therapy and couples counseling, as well as new content, including original videos and previously unpublished material, and expanded coverage of topics such as cultural perspective, special populations, use of self, the COVID pandemic, and the opioid crisis. Working With Families is an essential reference for practitioners in the fields of mental health, addictions, education, child welfare, criminal justice, and the military.
