Families today are assailed on all fronts by the profound changes,
such as the decline of real wages and the loss in many industries
of job security, that have shaken society over the past forty years
and forced the monolithic family structure to take on a multitude
of new forms, including the now-common dual-income family and the
single-parent family. With families now more dependent on outside
institutions for help and support-from the day care center to
social services to neighbors and friends-family therapy needs a
model of intervention that is capable of dealing with the new role
these outside institutions and their representatives play in the
life of the family.In this groundbreaking book, H. Charles Fishman
takes this next logical step in the evolution of the treatment of
families and details how to assess the broader system supporting
and affecting the family and how to intervene effectively.
Assessment techniques show how to decide which people and
institutions (such as siblings, friends, co-workers, employers,
social workers, teachers, clergy) need to be incorporated into the
treatment. Fishman outlines how and when representatives of these
outside institutions should meet with the therapist and the family.
Rich case examples extensively illustrate principles of
intervention for working within the family's context and for
identifying who or what is maintaining the dysfunction of the
family system.A concluding section reveals that altruism, a side of
human nature too easily forgotten or dismissed, is the driving
force behind the cooperative spirit regularly shown by participants
in intensive structural therapy. This surprising finding is sure to
inspire all who help families deal with the stresses of life today.
