As the field of the family has expanded, so has the need for an
up-to-date volume that pulls together and defines major salient
words, phrases, and concepts. This second edition of The Dictionary
of Family Psychology and Family Therapy provides an expanded, handy
reference for all family professionals--theoreticians, students,
researchers, or clinicians. There is no other source like it. Each
entry includes a definition of the term, an example relevant to its
usage, the origin of the term, an early source using the term, and
if pertinent, a recent source. "Borrowed" terms from other such
fields as family law, sex therapy, clinical child psychology, and
group psychology are also included. The Dictionary of Family
Psychology and Family Therapy is an essential resource intended for
use by students, faculty, family psychologists, family therapists,
and others engaged in the family field. "The authors have succeeded
in defining clearly and accessibly the major theoretical, and
methodological concepts in the field of family studies, including
operational definitions where appropriate." --Clinical Psychology
Forum "This wonderful book actually is a dictionary, defining
family psychology concepts and terms from A ('abortive runaway') to
Z ('zero-sum game'). . . . Anyone who reads professional material
in this field would find this dictionary invaluable. . . . The
concise format will allow the reader to stay informed. . . . The
application of concepts in examples and the provision of references
are invaluable. This book also does a good job of representing, in
an unbiased way, different theories or schools of thought. I would
recommend The Dictionary of Family Psychology and Family Therapy as
a reference for any professional in the family field and see it as
a great supplemental text for a graduate course or student."
--Family Relations "This is a timely book, and it should be on the
library shelves of professionals who deal with people in the areas
of clinical practice, research, and education. It should stand
alongside textbooks and other dictionaries. It should be read and
used as reference and source material. It complements our
understandings of human behavior and interactions, particularly the
interpersonal and intergroup inevitabilities in families as
representing core societies. Workers with families in terms of the
psychology and the therapy of such fundamental organizations of
genetically and other related people will find in this volume a
most valuable asset in furthering their understandings and
enhancing their effectiveness as therapists." --Jess V. Cohn, M.D.,
Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, University of Miami Medical
School, in The American Journal of Family Therapy
