In this updated edition of Substance Abuse and the Family, Michael
D. Reiter examines addiction through a family systems lens which
considers a range of interconnected contexts, such as biology and
genetics, family relationships, and larger systems. Chapters are
organized around two sections: Assessment and Treatment. Examining
how the family system organizes around substance use and abuse, the
first section includes contributions on the neurobiology and
genetics of addiction, as well as chapters on family diversity,
issues in substance-using families, and working in a culturally
sensitive way. The second half of the book explores various
treatment options for individuals and families presenting with
substance abuse issues, providing an overview of the major family
therapy theories, and chapters on self-help groups and the process
of family recovery. The second edition has many useful additions
including a revision of the family diversity chapter to consider
sexual and gender minorities, brand new chapters on behavioral
addictions such as sex and gambling, and a chapter on ethical
implications in substance abuse work with families. Additional
sections include information on Multisystemic Therapy, Behavioral
Couples Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Twelve-Step
Facilitation. Each chapter now contains a case application to help
demonstrate treatment strategies in practice. Intended for
undergraduate and graduate students, as well as beginning
practitioners, Substance Abuse and the Family, 2nd Ed. remains one
of the most penetrating and in-depth examinations on the topic
available.
This cutting-edge second edition of The Craft of Family Therapy
revisits some of Salvador Minuchin's most famous cases, guiding
trainee therapists through basic techniques and ideas while
illuminating the unique voice of Minuchin as the founder of
Structural Family Therapy. The book begins by teaching readers the
fundamentals of family therapy through the lens of rich commentary
from Salvador Minuchin on some of his most interesting cases. It
then moves on to three detailed supervision transcripts from
Minuchin's former students, illustrating the struggles, fears, and
insecurities that new family therapists face and how they can
overcome them. In a new, ground-breaking third section, Reiter and
Borda share their own lessons from Minuchin as well as expand his
influential ideas, emphasizing a strength-based family therapy
approach. Written in an accessible, practical style, The Craft of
Family Therapy, 2nd edition draws on a wealth of fascinating case
examples to bring Minuchin's theory and experience to today's
family therapists and psychotherapists in practice and training.
Couples counseling is distinct from individual and family therapy
and, while ideas from these other formats may be overlapping,
applying theoretical concepts to couples has distinctive
challenges. Behavioral, Humanistic-Existential, and Psychodynamic
Approaches to Couples Counseling is unique in that it addresses how
to conceptualize various theories around a single case. By
discussing only one case, the reader is more readily able to
compare and contrast the theoretical ideas of each theory, as well
as the pragmatics of techniques. Five theories are discussed around
four consistent parts: history, theory of problem formation, theory
of problem resolution, and case transcript.

Systems Theories for Psychotherapists explores three key theories
that underpin many of the models of psychotherapy: general systems
theory, natural systems theory, and language systems theory. The
book presents the aesthetics (how to see and understand what is
happening) and the pragmatics (what to do in the therapy room)
behind each theory. It also explores how therapists can
successfully conceptualize the problems that clients bring to
therapy, offering a range of contemporary examples to show how each
theory can be applied to practice. Starting with an introduction to
systems theories, the book then delves into cybernetics,
interactional systems, natural systems, constructivist theory, and
social construction theory. Each chapter uses a distinctive case
example to help clinicians to better understand and apply the
theories to their own therapeutic setting. Woven throughout the
book are three helpful learning tools: "Applying Your Knowledge,"
"Key Figure," and "Questions for Reflection," providing the reader
with the opportunity to critically engage with each concept,
consider how their own world view and preconceptions can inform
their work with clients, and challenging them to apply prominent
systems theories to their own practice. Systems Theories for
Psychotherapists is a clear and valuable text for undergraduate and
graduate students in mental health programs, including counseling,
marriage and family therapy, social work and clinical psychology,
as well as for all practicing clinicians.
