Reviews

'In a casual, conversational style, Dr. Michael Reiter tells the story of family therapy. For the newly interested and beginning therapist, Reiter introduces the history, ethics, theorists, and the models that evolved since family therapy began in the 1950's. For the experienced family therapist, this book will be a reminder of the people and situations that built our profession. This title might say basic, but the content is anything but.' Wade Luquet, PhD LCSW Gwynedd Mercy University. Author of Short-Term Couples Therapy: The Imago Model in Action. 'By sticking to the nuts and bolts while providing important contextual knowledge, Dr. Michael Reiter has simplified marriage and family therapy and brought fresh insight to a new generation of readers who can transform the field of study going forward.' Dr. Kelsey Railsback, LMFT; Touro University Worldwide, USA; Associate Professor, MFT Program.
