This book presents six chapter-length transcripts of actual family sessions, two of which involve ordinary families meeting their problems with relative success, and four involving families seeking help. Each transcript is accompanied by the author's running interpretation, focusing on the therapist's tactics and maneuvers. The book constructs a model of an effectively functioning family, defines the boundaries around its subsystems, and discusses how families adapt to stress. It also explores methods of diagnosing and mapping problems in troubled families and examines various restructuring operations to change family patterns.
This book is the result of a research project in family therapy conducted at the Wiltwyck School for Boys. It explores the problems faced by poor urban families and assesses measures for their treatment. The authors, led by Salvador Minuchin, focus on the family dynamics and social structures that influence the behavior and well-being of these families. The study is significant for its contribution to the field of family therapy, particularly in understanding and addressing the needs of disadvantaged urban families.
[Rerun] [Rerun] Dr. Kirk Honda does a deep dive on Salvador Minuchin and structural family therapy.
