Editorial Review:
Family Interaction offers a comprehensive overview of the major conceptual models that are used to understand the patterns and interactional dynamics that operate in families. The book provides readers with an overview of the basic tasks that all families must execute regardless of their particular composition or living situation. At the same time, it offers readers an appreciation of the variety and uniqueness in the ways in which each family develops its patterns of interaction. Its emphasis is on integration, particularly an integration of family systems, family development, and intergenerational perspectives. For family psychologists and therapists, or those involved in social work.

In this text, they again use the Bowenian theory as a grounding framework, combined with structural family theories (i.e. Salvador Minuchin, David Olson's circumplex model..etc.). ... Read More
