| Sumario: | "This book addresses contemporary couple, family, and parenting interventions grounded in family psychology theory and science, as well as issues related to family psychology training. It argues that family psychology has evolved to have a major impact not only on the practice of psychology, but also on how researchers in the field investigate the complexities of the human condition. The book is structured into five sections comprised of 32 chapters. Section one provides foundational issues in family therapy. It explains the brief history, assessment, ethical and legal issues, and evaluates the efficacy of couple and family therapy. Section two talks about family therapy models. It includes family-based treatments for substance abuse, structural family therapy, brief strategic family therapy, solution focused brief family therapy, multiple family group therapy, functional family therapy, medical family therapy, multisystemic therapy and behavioral family therapy. Section three focuses on cognitive behavioral couple therapy, integrative behavioral couple therapy, emotionally focused therapy for couples, couple and relationship education, and sexuality and intimacy. Section four discusses parenting programs like coping power and parent-child interaction therapy. Section five discusses competencies in couple and family psychology for health service psychologists, essentials of multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaboration, graduate education in couple and family psychology, internship and postdoctoral training and preparing for a faculty position in family psychology. It also discusses couple and family psychology practice and the lessons learned in training couple and family psychologists."--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved).
