This book opens a very important debate for the family therapy field. At a time of treatment rationing and standard setting, it aptly draws our attention to an issue of increasing importance: training the highest quality family therapists. In addition, it offers trainers and supervisors an invaluable "how to-do-it" guide to the tried-and-tested methods of taking trainees through a programmed of personal and professional development.
Reviews
'Judy Hildebrand is known throughout the family therapy field as someone who has always spoken for integrating formal aspects of therapy training with personal development, and she has designed and run such workshops for courses in Britain and Europe for many years. But the picture would be incomplete without understanding the effect that the exercises have on personal development, and for this volume she is joined by Collette Richardson and Frankie Zimmerman, two colleagues and ex-trainees, who have collated the experiences of a range of trainees from the several courses and are able to complement Hildebrand's ideas with the voice of the trainee.'- Ros Draper and David Campbell, Series Editors'This book is therefore very welcome, not only in its own right as a contribution towards the development of therapeutic complexity in systemic training, but also as a contribution towards the ongoing debate about what constitutes systemic therapy and the role of the therapist.'- Gill Gorell Barnes, from the Foreword
