Thus far this book has been easy to read and informative, detailing the incredibly useful theories and principles of Family Therapy.
This being my first text on the subject has kindled an interest in me to continue pusuing the subject in depth, and I recoomend this text as a canon text in the specialty of Introductory Family Therapy.

As a student of Family Therapy I am keenly aware of the need to have first-class resources that utilize proven techniques and that are theoretically sound. This text by the Goldenberg's, I have been told, is a veritable classic. I can see why. The book is very logical in its layout and construction, with the authors eschewing jargon and therapy-speak for clear, lucid, and cogent language. I have come to learn that there is a world of difference between individual therapy, and family therapy. The Goldenberg's make sure that this vital distinction is clear to the reader, and they do so without pedantry. I would recommend this book as a resource or as the primary text for any graduate level family therapy course. This book is so comprehensive that it can stand alone, or be used to supplement your studies.

I purchased this book for a class and it came in excellent condition and was delivered in a timely manner. The text itself is very easy to follow, as well as very educational. With this text, I do not feel as if the author is just saying the same things over and over, I feel as if I am getting new information about the same topics that I will be able to apply to my career latter in life. This is a good read.
