Learn how to take different models of therapy from theory to real world practiceDelivering proven therapeutic strategies that can be immediately used by students of marital and family therapy, this text brings 15 modern and postmodern therapy models to life through guiding templates and interviews with master therapists. The text progresses step-by-step through marriage and family essentials, describing in detail the systemic mindset and basic terminology used by the marriage and family therapist. Interviews with such master therapists as Albert Ellis, David Keith, and Mariana Martinez--who each provide commentary on a single Case Study--give readers the opportunity to observe different models in action, clarifying theory and practice at the same time. Instructive templates for each model illuminate the nuts and bolts of the therapy process and help instructors bring content to life, so students can visualize and practice the process.
