Treating Contemporary Families: Toward a More Inclusive Clinical Practice

With its combined focus on inclusion, social justice, and evidence-based practice, this book will help clinicians work with today’s diverse families in effective, culturally responsive ways. The book examines several common interactional challenges that contemporary families face, such as co-parenting, divorce, intimate partner violence, and blending families. For each challenge, contributors summarize research on the issue as well as multiple diverse family types, and then clinical examples show how to develop interventions for these family types.
