Download or read book Functional Family Therapy written by James Alexander and published by Thomson Brooks/Cole. This book was released on 1982 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For decades following Alfred Adler's pioneering work in the 1920s, family therapy enjoyed only a minor or adjunct role among the various treatment approaches in the field of mental health. Recently, however, family therapy has experienced phenomenal growth in impact and popularity. The functional family therapy approach described in this book, a synthesis of interpersonal, behavioral, and systems orientations, represents a new evolutionary step in the treatment of families. It is based on the substantial works of our predecessors and the experience derived from many hours of seeing families in both clinical and research contexts. The goal of this book is to provide a clear description of the procedures and structure necessary for the successful practice of family therapy. Family therapists need an unambiguous conceptual framework and a set of specific techniques for dealing with families in distress. At the same time, however, they cannot succeed if they are merely technicians. For this reason the book is also designed to enhance the flexibility and creativity therapists need to respond effectively to the myriad needs, idiosyncrasies, and forms of resistance presented by the different families they see. To this end much of the material in the book is presented in a somewhat intuitive manner, often by example and analogy. Part One describes the functional family model as it generally applies to all families, including the specific conceptual, technical, and interpersonal skills required of all family therapists. Conceptual skills comprise the perspectives therapists need to understand families, as well as the knowledge necessary for developing appropriate therapeutic goals and selecting suitable techniques. Technical skills include the verbal, nonverbal, and physical tools that therapists use as vehicles of change. They represent the technology of what therapists do, based on their conceptual understanding of what needs to be done. Interpersonal skills represent the way therapists apply their techniques. The efficacy of the techniques depends significantly on the atmosphere and family attitudes created through these interpersonal skills. Part Two is designed to facilitate therapists' flexibility by describing each of the phases of intervention, with emphasis on the goals of each phase, rather than on the specific techniques. Part Two also describes a number of unique developmental and structural aspects of particular families that require specific techniques"--Preface.

Download or read book Creating a Functional Family in a Dysfunctional World written by Kimberly K. Money and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents today continue to struggle with the question of how much discipline is too much or too little. Creating a Functional Family in a Dysfunctional World proposes a new approach: "democratic" parenting -- in which kids have a say in the laws and penalties by which they are raised. Making children a part of the process of their discipline and instruction consistently produces responsible kids. Authors Kimberly and Bruce Money are living proof of the effectiveness of their methods. They provide examples of their approaches by drawing on incidents from their own lives as parents of six. Each chapter offers information about dealing with every kind of behavior problem, giving solid information to keep families functional, including: -- why children misbehave; -- behavior and birth order; -- encouraging positive behavior; -- effective communication; -- creating consequences to create responsibility.

This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.
