Of all the therapeutic modalities in force today, none shows
greater promise for dramatic personal change than the fast-growing
field of family therapy. Yet no discipline is more lacking in a
unified theoretical framework.Now, in this brilliant new work, Lynn
Hoffman, noted therapist and, with Jay Haley, author of "Techniques
of Family Therapy" (Basic Books, 1968) provides the much-needed
synthesis that weaves together the diverse themes and concepts
around which family theory and therapy have evolved. Sweeping in
its coverage, solidly researched yet consistently lively and
readable, "Foundations of Family Therapy" is unique in the way it
successfully bridges the gap between the family field and other
social sciences.Starting with Gregory Bateson's seminal ideas on
social fields, the book examines key concepts that have come to
family therapy from general systems theory, notably the cybernetic
paradigm. The author looks closely at the early studies of
combination patterns in "schizophrenic" families and then connects
this research with related work on family typology and on the whole
range of emotional disorders.The second part of the book explores
the major schools of family therapy and such figures as Minuchin,
Bowen, Whitaker, Haley, Erickson, and Ackerman, as well as the
revolutionary work of Selvini Palazzoli and her associates in
Milan.Bold in conception, beautifully integrative, "Foundations of
Family Therapy" conveys the excitement of the growth of ideas,
while at the same time giving the reader a systematic and coherent
overview of family therapy as it is practiced today. Both
clinicians and researchers will recognize it as the major synthesis
of contemporary family therapy.
