The Craft of Family Therapy: Challenging Certainties

Family therapy trainees are inundated with a multitude of family therapy theories. They also have difficulty shifting from an individualistic view to one of seeing interactions and systems. How do therapists hone their own methods with all of these choices? And how do they learn how to best treat families with all of the focus being taken away from their clients and redirected instead on processes? Perhaps most importantly, how can they learn through an inductive process of exploring what has occurred during the therapeutic session? Veteran therapist and founder of Structural Family Therapy, Salvador Minuchin, goes back to basics with his two co-authors Michael D. Reiter and Charmaine Borda in The Craft of Family Therapy. In this book they teach readers basic communication and family therapy skills using some of Dr. Minuchin’s most interesting and illuminating cases. Not only do readers re-learn basic techniques, such as reframing and joining, but they are treated to an in-depth commentary on each case, with Dr. Minuchin emphasizing the techniques he uses that allow him to refocus attention from the Identified Patient to the family as a whole. The book ends with three supervision transcripts from Dr. Minuchin’s students, whose commentary illuminates the struggles, fears, and insecurities that new family therapists face and how they can overcome them. Each of these chapters ends with a consultation interview that Dr. Minuchin conducted with each supervisee’s case family.

With a wider focus on ethics, diversity, and best practices, Therapeutic Interviewing leaves (almost) no stone unturned. This is a book and tool that every clinician can use regardless of theoretical orientation or specific helping profession."- Jessica Popham, PhD, assistant professor of psychology at Albizu University"In this engaging book, Reiter provides novice therapists with a foundational and fantastic understanding of the generalities and idiosyncrasies of psychotherapy. Reiter walks us through the relational and collaborative nature of therapy and its influence on the co-construction of goals and change across a variety of contexts. Prospective therapists can look forward to bridging theory and practice through case examples, reflective exercises, and activities." -Carlos A. Ramos, PhD, assistant professor of psychology at Our Lady of the Lake University"I am thrilled that Reiter has published a second edition of his book describing foundational counseling skills in various settings. Something that distinguishes his book from others in the same area is Reiter’s conversational writing style; it is extremely accessible for those in counselling training programs and others interested in the subject matter. With his focus on telehealth and working with diverse populations, this book is relevant and timely."-Elise Hartin, MA, RCC, teaching faculty at Columbia Bible College About the Author Michael D.
