The greatest master and “star” of family therapy, Minukhin tells how he does it. Getting started, connecting with the family, setting goals... and doing everything else that has made him one of the most successful family therapists in the world (in terms of practice) and a living classic (in terms of science). This book is an absolute textbook. True to the title: techniques are described and discussed, which in itself is valuable. Detailed, clear, well constructed. And it’s fascinating, and not only for psychologists, doctors and family counselors. They have to read it thoroughly, discuss it, turn to it for help... And everyone else should read it for the same reasons why in many homes there is a “Practitioner’s Handbook” on the shelves.
