This book is a response to the conceptual crisis in clinical
psychology. With over 250 psychotherapies, clinical psychology is a
patchquilt that critically needs a theoretical thread to bind the
patches together. Skurky proposes a model that views behavior as
functioning simultaneously on the individual and systemic levels
and provides psychotheraphy with a theoretical foundation. This
approach focuses on human behavior as a holistic process and
applies systems theory to individual functioning. This book offers
some original and excellent ideas that can be a distinct
contribution to working with couples and with members of families.
These ideas might work well in actual practice and be quite helpful
to many marital and family therapies.
