Family Therapy as an Alternative to Medication critically and
passionately explores the concepts and practices that constitute
the interface between family systems based psychotherapy and modern
biological psychiatry. This diverse collection of essays, eight by
psychiatrists, is neither for nor against medication, but takes a
skeptical view of the unquestioned dominance that medication-based
treatments have achieved among mental health practitioners. Its
viewpoint is that therapeutic attention to context and
relationships, regularly diminished when medications are
prescribed, interferes with the development of psychiatric
disorders, adds to maturity, and expands consciousness. Clinical
examples, by both practitioners and patients, are used to define
potential problems that arise from trying to combine a medical
model with family systems work and also illustrate the
decision-making processes and methods for applying family systems
based therapies. This book will stimulate thoughtful conversation
among students and practitioners of all mental health disciplines.
