This perspective allows us to narrow our focus to essential dynamics - complementarity, triangles, cross-generational coalitions - and to emphasize therapeutic techniques. Face to face with a family in pain, it can be hard to see past their griefs and complaints to the underlying dynamics. So if therapists sometimes reduce the complexities of human relationships to categories they can deal with, they do so for a good reasons. But, inevitably, something is lost. [This book] brings you into the consulting room to see for yourself what goes on. Many cases are described, but the emphasis is on the details of one family's therapy. This story also takes you deep into the experience of the family in treatment.
