Other versions by this Author
Gathering together some of the most memorable articles that have appeared in the Networker since 1982, it chronicles the personal and professional challenges confronting today's family therapists. It looks at clinical advances in such diverse areas as couples therapy, brief treatment, approaches to substance abuse and family violence, and work with teens and small children. The Evolving Therapist traces the major debates of the last 10 years, from the therapeutic relevance of gender inequality to the ethics of constructivism. It explores the changing conceptions of the family therapist's role, while examining the impact of the decade's social, economic, and political tumult on our work.
