Essential Skills in Family Therapy: From the First Interview to Termination

Perfect for my AOD class

This is an excellent book that covered all basics about doing family therapy that I can think of. It also had many resources such as useful web pages, books, research aarticles, and screening instruments for 12 different situations. I plan to read many of the articles mentioned in their references as they stimulated my appetite to learn more. I’ve been blessed to have been trained by Virginia Satir, and I think this book was just as rich an experience. I highly recommend it!

The book was great ! I appreciate that it wasn't too pricey and it was in perfect condition. I get to keep it for my future studies too :) thank you.

I was hoping it would give me specific interventions, case vignettes illustrating different theoretical orientations, however this book doesn’t do that. It gives you a run down of what you need to have in place as if you are opening up your own private practice.

thank you

Good read

This text does a fantastic job at normalizing new therapist anxiety and giving basic, practical guides for intake, assessment, treatment planning, and more. The text helps you learn about all the behind-the-scenes procedures and forms that therapists do.

Really benefical reading this book. Reinforces concepts of SFT.
