Therapeutic Alliances with Families: Empowering Clients in Challenging Cases By Valentín Escudero, Myrna L. FriedlanderEnglish | PDF | 2017 | 240 Pages | ISBN : 3319593684 | 3.15 MB
This practical breakthrough introduces a robust framework for family and couples therapy specifically designed for working with difficult, entrenched, and court-mandated situations. Using an original model (the System for Observing Family Therapy Alliances, or SOFTA) suitable to therapists across theoretical lines, the authors detail special challenges, empirically-supported strategies, and alliance-building interventions organized around common types of ongoing couple and family conflicts.
