This book presents a thorough and concise historical overview of the emerging science of family intervention, which is considered the applied branch of family psychology. Leading experts in the field present therapy techniques, procedures, and research strategies that are empirically based. Contributors stress the need to link research and practice so that questions targeted by researchers are those confronted by clinicians and results can directly influence the practice of family therapy. Also emphasized is the need to identify specific patient characteristics that set these patients apart from the rest of the population and, if addressed in a more focused manner, would enhance the effectiveness of the intervention. This book will be a valuable resource for advanced graduate students, family therapists, and family researchers committed to conducting clinically meaningful and scientifically sound intervention research.
