Publisher Description
The challenge facing the authors of texts that address the multiplicity and complexity of problems that may afflict families can be intimidating. Philip Barker has addressed this challenge head-on in each of the editions of this book. This task has been greatly facilitated by the contributions of the new co-author, Jeff Chang, and in this edition provides a clear, easily read and readily understandable introduction to family therapy. Much has happened in the field of family therapy since the fifth edition of Basic Family Therapy was published in 2007.
New developments covered in this book include:
Emotionally Focused Therapy The Gottman approach to couples therapy Mindfulness and psychotherapy The common factors approach to psychotherapy and to family therapy The increased emphasis on empirically supported treatments High-conflict post-divorce parenting
Basic Family Therapy will be of value to readers new to family therapy and to those in the early stages of training.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A companion to Lee Daniel's recent film, The Butler, Haygood provides a history of Eugene Allen in his role as butler to eight U.S. presidents. Coupled with this is Haygood's account of how the original Washington Post article about Allen turned into a movie with an all-star cast. This audio edition features a skilled group of narrators all with significant roles in the film. Forest Whitaker carries the weight of the production, providing voices for Haygood the reporter who originally pursued the story and Allen. Whitaker's pacing easily keeps listener attention, and his tone, emphasis, and timing flesh out the characters. Winfrey and Oyelowo, both of who provide strong and clear narration, read additional essays. An Atria/37 Ink hardcover.
