Treating Contemporary Families

Browning and van Eeden-Moorefield shine a laser focus on the integration of research with contemporary practice. Their unique backgrounds with psychotherapy integration and many types of diverse families equip them to blend evidence-based practice with practice-based evidence to apply to real-world families from a systems perspective.--Terence Patterson, EdD, ABPP, Board-Certified Couple & Family Psychologist, San Francisco, CA Building upon evidence-supported practice, editors Scott Browning and Brad van Eeden-Moorefield offer a creative synthesis of research and scholarship on a variety of family-based topics, which offers thoughtful opportunities for scholarly reflection and practice application.--Jay Poole, PhD, MSW, LCSW, Professor and Director of the Joint Doctor of Philosophy in Social Work Program at North Carolina A&T State University and The University of North Carolina at Greensboro This book goes a long way in building a bridge between research and clinical practice for common presenting issues in psychotherapy with contemporary families. Students and experienced clinicians will find succinct reviews of clinically relevant research paired with clinical chapters that describe the lived experience of the identified client population (including the intersectionality of individual and family factors), a realistic case study, and research-supported interventions.--Mark Stanton, PhD, ABPP, Professor, School of Behavioral and Applied Sciences, Azusa Pacific University, Azusa, CA In Treating Contemporary Families, contributing authors look beyond the diagnostic categories to illustrate the complex challenges of families more realistically. They base their presentation on a holistic view of evidence-based practices, making this material accessible and important for practitioners, students, and researchers.--Thomas L. Sexton, PhD, ABPP, Professor Emeritus, Indiana University, Bloomington, APA Fellow, and Board-Certified Couple & Family Psychologist
