This classic Family Therapy text continues to provide "a new and
more comprehensive way to think about human development and the
life cycle," reflecting changes in society away from orientation
toward the nuclear family, toward a more diverse and inclusive
definition of "family." This expanded view of the family includes
the impact of issues at multiple levels of the human system: the
individual, family households, the extended family, the community,
the cultural group, and the larger society. The text features a
ground-breaking integration of individual male and female
development in systemic context; our increasing racial, ethnic, and
cultural diversity; the emergence of men's movements and issues;
the growing visibility of lesbian and gay families; and the
neglected area of social class.
This widely used clinical reference has now been fully revised and
expanded, providing the latest knowledge on culturally sensitive
practice with families and individuals from over 40 different
ethnic groups. Each chapter demonstrates how ethnocultural factors
may influence the assumptions of both clients and therapists, the
issues people bring to the clinical context, and their resources
for coping and problem solving. Updated throughout with essential
new material, the third edition includes chapters on several
additional groups. An indispensable new appendix offers a concise
guide to weaving cultural information into assessment and
intervention planning.
