E-Books →Stepfamily Therapy A 10–Step Clinical Approach

The authors guide readers through their 10-step model, emphasizing techniques that range from the conceptual-determining the unique structure of the stepfamily to help guide treatment-to more concrete interventions, from identifying and encouraging empathy, to identifying and challenging unhelpful beliefs, and assisting in work with co-parents. The importance of extended family members is stressed, as is the necessity of understanding and valuing racial, ethnic, and sexual diversity within stepfamilies.
