Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) is a strengths-based model for diagnosing and correcting repetitive interaction patterns that are linked to painful family experiences and symptoms in children 6 to 18 years old. This clinical guide to BSFT explains how practitioners can transform family interactions from conflictive to collaborative, so that the love trapped behind the anger can flourish. Detailed examples throughout the book illustrate how BSFT works strategically with a wide range of family compositions, presenting problems, clinical dilemmas and cultures.
