Are all therapists free of problems of their own? This book aims to show the interweaving of issues occurring in the lives of the therapist and the clients served. The reader meets JoEllen Madsen, a professional soc ial worker who is facing her own personal challenges. Next, the reader is introduced to the Petersons, a family that includes parents struggling with marital difficulties and a son and daughter who are having serious problems in school. The Petersons enter into family therapy with JoEllen, now a student in a post-graduate training programme. The book illustrates the complexity of family therapy, the skills and techniques involved, and the importance of ongoing consultation, supervision, and personal work by the therapist.
