Review

"Both revolutionary and pragmatic. It is written by a teacher of therapy, and it stands as one of the very few "how–to" books that really give the reader an opportunity to learn from example."

"The book has justifiably become ′must′ reading for family therapy practitioners and supervisors.′′
