The Answer Within: A Family In Therapy Re-Examined (Revised Ed.)

The Answer Within: A Family in Therapy Re-Examined (Revised Ed.)

The Black family entered therapy seeking answers to long-standing relationship problems. With their permission, the sessions were recorded and combined with the therapist's commentary in the landmark book, A FAMILY IN THERAPY. More than 20 years after these sessions, therapist Moshe Lang revisits his work with the Blacks, updating his original comments and re-appraising his techniques in light of developments in famiyl therapy practice, expanding clinical research and hindsight. Unique and provocative, THE ANSWER WITHIN is both a touching account of one family's attempt to heal and an invaluable discussion of the therapist's role. It is a seminal resurce for psychologists, therapists and students, as well as anyone looking for a better understanding of family therapy. Review "...rich and honest commentary, along with the text of the therapy, gives this book a unique place in clinical teaching." -- Erica Frydenberg, Institute of Education, Melbourne UNiversity "A rare opportunity to witness a family's journey through therapy." -- Australian Journal of Psychology
