This book describes the real-life journeys of women
psychotherapists: why each woman chose this profession and what she
learned about others and most importantly, about herself in this
choice. Most critically, these women now share how they have
integrated this wisdom into their everyday lives. While
psychotherapists may also be authors, few write books about their
journeys in the profession. Women Psychotherapists: Journeys in
Healing is one of those rare books. Each contributor invites her
readers onto the road traveled by the woman who listens to others
needing her help and guides them into living a more joyous,
successful life, even as she moves towards greater fulfillment in
her own life."
Context is the unifying principle that guides a therapist's
formulation of the modern family's presenting dilemmas,
functioning, relationships, and attitudes. We can no longer assume
that a family is comprised of a mother, father, and children; the
composition and systems a family operates within can be fluid and
ever-changing, requiring an equally elastic model. The Assimilative
Family Therapy Model is sensitive to the many unique contexts
presented by the modern family and is shaped by the inclusion of
necessary interventions to address the specific dilemmas of a
client or family. In Solving Modern Family Dilemmas, readers will
learn about many schools of thought and experience their
integration to help heal clients through differentiation, anxiety
reduction, and lowering emotional reactivity. There is also no need
for readers to abandon their theoretical framework; theories,
concepts, and interventions can be inserted into the model,
enabling readers to create their own model of family therapy.
End-of-chapter questions enable self-examination, and readers are
treated to references for further exploring theories, concepts, and
interventions. Family therapists, psychologists, social workers,
and mental health counselors find this book essential in their work
with all clients, and professors use it in courses to teach
different modes of integrating theories, concepts, and
interventions.
