This significant book explains why family psychology-an entirely
different field from family therapy-provides a cutting-edge
description of human behavior in context and as such represents the
wave of the future in psychology. Family Psychology: Theory,
Research, and Practice is the definitive introductory text on
family psychology, a fast-growing specialty and increasingly
dominant voice for the field in the 21st century. Authors John W.
Thoburn, PhD, ABPP, and Tom Sexton, PhD, ABPP, have created the
first introductory book focused on this specialty, laying the
groundwork that students as well as developing therapists can use
to understand the basics of family psychology. This single-volume
book makes the history and development of family psychology
relevant to contemporary research and practice, explaining how the
ecosystemic approach of family psychology provides a cutting-edge
description of human behavior in context and as such is the most
promising field in psychology. It addresses the history, research,
theory, treatments, diagnoses, and assessment of family psychology;
ethics and supervision along with related areas such as systems sex
therapy; family forensic psychology; international family
psychology; and systems consultation, providing a comprehensive
overview of the career and practice of family psychology. Family
Psychology: Theory, Research, and Practice also identifies how it
differs from the individualistic therapy of traditional psychology
and how it differs from the field of marriage and family therapy.
Chapters include vignettes from family sessions that effectively
illustrate the issues being addressed and examine the significance
of gender, culture, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Supplies a
comprehensive treatise on the value of family psychology to the
field of psychology as a whole Provides a historical overview of
family psychology and makes the important differentiation between
family psychology and marriage and family therapy Examines the
relationship between research and practice, cure and care, and the
science and art of family psychology Documents how family
psychology strives to view persons in context of their situation
and the relationships within the family
