The book succinctly and accessible from the standpoint of a whole approach describes the main models of modern family psychotherapy and shows the specifics of their practical application using examples. The book consists of three parts: the first is devoted to the main stages of family development as a social unit, the second to the analysis of theories. Underlying the leading areas of family psychotherapy, the third is the consideration of practical problems that family psychotherapists have to face in the context of professional activities.
