A rare behind–the–scenes look at the legendary Sal Minuchin′s work as a practitioner and teacher of family therapy. In part one, Minuchin offers his views on what makes a good family therapist and discusses how therapists must use their own personal experiences to bring about change in troubled families. In part two, nine of Minuchin′s supervisees each present a detailed case study along with Minuchin′s ongoing commentary––and demonstrate how Minuchin′s supervision enhanced their self–understanding and their therapeutic practice.
