Re-Visioning Family Therapy Race, Culture and Gender in Clinical Practice

"For 20 years Ethnicity and Family Therapy has been a cornerstone for introducing students and professionals to the importance of viewing clients through a cultural lens. Undoubtedly, Re-Visioning Family Therapy will have the same influence in the profession of couple and family therapy. Monica McGoldrick has once again amassed expert contributors who provide numerous frameworks and examples that deepen our understanding of the sociopolitical contexts that affect families and the intersection between race, culture and gender in clinical practice. This book is an excellent resource for students, educators and trainers in couple and family therapy."--Stephanie Brooks, MSW, LCSW, LMFT, Assistant Professor & Associate Director, Master of Family Therapy Program, MCP Hahnemann University. "Revisioning Family Therapy is an invaluable resource for instruction in the relationship among external dynamics like racism, sexism, classism, and heterosexism; family of origin systemic factors; and internal psychological perceptions like a sense of inferiority or superiority. The authors provide scholarly and practical insights into complex issues that influence the assessment and treatment of families in a multicultural society. This book is an essential text for any university or post-graduate program seriously engaged in the education of clinicians for therapy with diverse family systems."--Reo Leslie, Jr., DMin, LPC, Family Therapy/Play Therapy Institute, Aurora, ColoradoMcGoldrick, Monica is the author of 'Re-Visioning Family Therapy Race, Culture and Gender in Clinical Practice', published 1998 under ISBN 9781572308244 and ISBN 1572308249.
