About the Book

Christian therapists doing family therapy have never had a resource to help them navigate the various family therapy theories from a Christian perspective--until now.

In this book Mark A. Yarhouse and James N. Sells survey the major approaches to family therapy and treat, within a Christian framework, significant psychotherapeutic issues. The wide array of issues covered includes

• crisis and trauma
• marital conflict
• separation, divorce and blended families
• individual psychopathology
• substance abuse and addictions
• gender, culture, economic class and race
• sexual identity

A landmark work providing critical Christian engagement with existing models of family therapy, this volume was written for those studying counseling, social work, psychology or family therapy. Family Therapies will also serve as an indispensable resource for those in the mental health professions, including counselors, psychologists, family therapists, social workers and pastors.
