Guiding Families Through Transitions: A Life Cycle Approach to Clinical Practice

An indispensable clinical resource and text, this book offers therapists evidence-based strategies to support families through life's inevitable transitions. Chapters explore typical life cycle stages--couple formation, parenthood, adolescence, young adulthood and midlife, and later life--and describe treatment principles for frequently encountered family challenges. The book normalizes developmental strains and underscores the significance of flexibility, adaptability, and resilience through adversity. Extensive case examples encompass a range of family forms, cultural and individual differences, and life cycle disruptions, including parental separation, illness, and loss.
