Summary:

Family therapy has come a long way over the past 30 years, however, in spite of the advancements, there are still many problem areas say Browning (professional psychology, Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia) and Artelt, a licensed marriage and family therapist. One such area is that of step family counseling. The authors explain that the step family carries with it a unique set of dynamics and issues which require an equally unique counseling approach. They provide an original framework specifically designed for step family therapy. Psychology students and practicing therapists will find this book particularly useful.
