{"product_id":"solving-modern-family-dilemmas-patricia-pitta-9781138775138","title":"Solving Modern Family Dilemmas: An Assimilative Therapy Model","description":"Context is the unifying principle that guides a therapist's formulation of the modern family's presenting dilemmas, functioning, relationships, and attitudes. We can no longer assume that a family is comprised of a mother, father, and children; the composition and systems a family operates within can be fluid and ever-changing, requiring an equally elastic model. The Assimilative Family Therapy Model is sensitive to the many unique contexts presented by the modern family and is shaped by the inclusion of necessary interventions to address the specific dilemmas of a client or family. \u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eSolving Modern Family Dilemmas\u003c\/em\u003e, readers will learn about many schools of thought and experience their integration to help heal clients through differentiation, anxiety reduction, and lowering emotional reactivity. There is also no need for readers to abandon their theoretical framework; theories, concepts, and interventions can be inserted into the model, enabling readers to create their own model of family therapy. End-of-chapter questions enable self-examination, and readers are treated to references for further exploring theories, concepts, and interventions. Family therapists, psychologists, social workers, and mental health counselors find this book essential in their work with all clients, and professors use it in courses to teach different modes of integrating theories, concepts, and interventions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Pitta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138775134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138775138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.11w x 0.76d","brand":"Patricia Pitta","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48087769383167,"sku":"9781138775138","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f8b9341-dbb2-4d81-ab75-b38ab23ac4fb.jpg?v=1769101299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/solving-modern-family-dilemmas-patricia-pitta-9781138775138","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
