This book presents a new approach to understanding the family unit
and how and why it functions as it does. The approach focuses on
the cognitions of family members and how these, in turn, shape
individuals' behavior and the functioning of the family system.
The use of the cognitive-behavioral perspective in family science
has gained a quick and broad acceptance among social scientists and
practitioners during the past decade. One reason for its success is
that the basics of the approach are easy to learn and apply.
Specifically, the approach maintains that a person who believes
that he or she is a failure will -- because of this cognition --
act in certain self-defeating ways and have various
self-deprecating feelings.
The wide acceptance of the cognitive-behavioral approach rests on
more than its simplicity: the approach has repeatedly proven itself
in the laboratory and in the clinic. The knowledge readers of this
volume will gain about the cognitive-behavioral approach provides
them with tools that they can use to better understand not only the
family interactions, but the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of
individuals -- including themselves -- in the family setting.
