Handbook of Adolescents and Family TherapyMarsha Pravder Mirkin, Stuart L. Koman This volume provides a comprehensive review of systemic conceptualization and treatment of adolescents and their families. There has been increasing attention to individual treatment of adolescents in the literature; this book brings together the theory and practice of family therapy in the treatment of adolescents. The Handbook of Adolescents and Family Therapy is divided into three parts. Part One is devoted to the theory which discusses the practice of systemic intervention across types of problems and varied settings. It includes a general review of family systems theory, a specific discussion of the adolescent phase of the family life cycle, and a new formulation devoted to the problem of how to choose the most effective type of intervention, given the level of family organization/disorganization. |
