This book is a challenge to the silos in our human services that an
'atomised' focus gives rise to. They are evident in the chasm that
can exist between child and adult mental health care, between
competing therapeutic approaches and, most importantly for this
volume, in the segmentation of support for adults who are partners
as well as parents. The contributors, all with substantial
experience of providing front-line services, identify the problem
their intervention is designed to address, provide a conceptual
justification for the approach they have used and supply evidence
for its effectiveness. Vivid illustrations bring the work to life
and provide examples of best practice whose relevance can readily
be transported to different settings. Unusual in bringing together
approaches that encompass internal and external realities in
responding to the challenges of physical constraint, emotional
distress and an often-volatile social environment, the
contributions are assembled to highlight a common thread that can
inform services at different stages of the life course. Each
chapter is accompanied by a commentary from specialists in their
field who elucidate and critique the key points made by the authors
and help the experience of reading the book to be one of dialogue.
Engaging Couples: New Directions in Therapeutic in Work with
Families explores new ways of approaching some of the key issues of
contemporary family life, including depression, living with
long-term conditions, inter-parental conflict and domestic abuse to
name but a few, refracting them through a lens that sees our
relationships as fundamental to the fabric of our lives - the most
important social capital of all. It represents essential reading
for clinicians and family practitioners of all persuasions, and
those that train and support them in their work.
