Family therapy

The updated and revised edition of this successful book combines the theory with practical examples of family stories and therapeutic problems. The aim is to explain the application of the theory in concrete situations. Therapy is understood as a process in which clients, together with the therapist, seek a new perspective on the problems they are dealing with. Renowned Czech authors describe systemic work with the individual and the application of systems thinking to broader systems. They add new chapters on older clients, clients with intellectual disabilities, clients who are not verbally proficient or socially successful. They also discuss the issue of violence in intimate relationships or the losses we all encounter in life (death, illness, health problems, bereavement). The text is intended for psychologists, psychiatrists, social work, special education and andragogy workers and especially for students of these fields.
