Description
Gehart's MASTERING COMPETENCIES IN FAMILY THERAPY: A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO THEORIES AND CLINICAL CASE DOCUMENTATION, 4th Edition, not only teaches you about family therapy theories, but also how to use them. A resource you will turn to again and again, it covers most of what you need to know in graduate school and to pass your licensing exams. Students love the book's relaxed, down-to-earth style that makes even complex concepts easy to understand, along with its real-world clinical forms -- case conceptualization and treatment planning -- that can be used with clients. Integrating diversity and research considerations into theoretical discussions and practical applications, the book provides a more holistic and nuanced understanding of couple and family therapy. The fourth edition is packed with the latest research, new theories, telehealth practices, licensure exam prep tips and more.
