Rezensionen

"Although the title might suggest a relatively narrow target
audience of family therapists, I feel certain that the fascinating
ideas addressed here, coupled with the accessible style, would also
speak to the experienced therapist, the trainee and the lay reader
alike. By focusing on what is actually said in spousal, sibling and
parental relationships, the authors invite the reader to reflect on
the powerful and often destructive myths, narratives, schemas
- call them what you will - that underpin family
systems." (Therapy Today, 1 September 2012)
