Family Restructuring Therapy

This book is a 'how to' manual for working with families in separation and divorce using an active, directive therapeutic process called Family Restructuring Therapy. This philosophy and effective process works well for the 'normal' divorced family who need to learn new practices and patterns, and for the 'high-conflict' family whose behavior patterns have become so maladaptive that the children's well-being is at risk. A valuable resource for mental health professionals, and also for lawyers and the Court when trying to decide what can be done with challenging parenting battles. It is clearly not a passive approach to counseling. If you're tired of witnessing the damage that conflict has on children and want to engage in the highly satisfying work of helping parents communicate effectively and seeing children relieved of the burden of picking sides, devour this book and get to work!
