Summary:
"Postmodernist ideas are widely used in family therapy. However, it
is argued that these ideas have their limits in meeting the richness
and complexity of human experience and therapy practice. Family
Therapy Beyond Postmodernism examines postmodernism and its
expressions in family therapy." "Family Therapy Beyond Postmodernism
offers a sustained critical discussion of the possibilities and
limits of contemporary family therapy knowledge, and develops a place
for psychoanalytic ideas in systemic thinking and practice. It will
be of great interest to family therapists, psychotherapists and other
mental health professionals."--BOOK JACKET.
