Reviews

This lucid and stimulating book makes the job of mastering the McMaster Approach far easier than it has ever been in the past. This is an excellent volume that will be the definitive, comprehensive guidebook to the McMaster Approach for many years to come. - Steven R. H. Beach, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Director of the Institute for Behavioral Research, Director of Clinical Psychology Program, University of Georgia Rarely, if ever, has such a comprehensive treatise on family therapy appeared. Anchored and guided by research, this book is the Holy Grail to a thinking, feeling and doing approach to studying, understanding and treating families, and to teaching about family therapy. It is must reading for any serious student of family function and family psychopathology. - Thomas F. Anders M.D., President Elect, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry; Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, M.I.N.D. Institute, University of California, Davis, USA This book is truly outstanding. It represents a major development in the coming to maturity of the field of family therapy. It is a very important and impressive piece of scholarly work, which embraces and builds upon other earlier models. I urge the purchase of this timely, impressive, and indispensable book. - William Vogel, Ph.D., in Psychiatric Services The results of these studies are spelled out in remarkably clear language. The answers to major questions, as is the case in any good research, generate as many questions as they answer. The book represents a current view of a process, a snapshot in the life of a dedicated group of professionals that will obviously continue for many years. - Thomas Roesler, MD in Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, Vol. 2, No.2.
